Her success is growing rapidly, and rumors of the arrival of one of the greatest talents in world tennis are growing. Brenda Fruhvirtová won another top junior tournament, while the fourteen-year-old Czech Republic matured again to players who are several years older.
Her older, 16-year-old sister Linda has already made it into the fourth hundred in the world adult rankings. But Brenda is also experiencing an equally impressive boom, and she is asking for more and more attention in the junior category.
Over the weekend, she dominated the tournament in Charleroi, Belgium, and won her third title this season. In the junior ranking, it moved by 11 places to the current 24th place.
Within the elite thirty, she is the only tennis player born in 2007.
Following in the footsteps of her sister, Brenda Fruhvirt has no problem beating players up to four years older.
“But it’s completely normal for me. Ever since I started playing tennis, I’ve always played against people older than me,” she explained recently to the ITF’s official website.
Her fame spreads through the sports world, as do high expectations. However, Fruhvirt is still dealing with possible pressure in complete cold blood.
“Guess who won the next tournament,” the confident teenager wrote on Twitter, posting a photo with the winning trophy. In the finals of the Belgian event, she turned the match against her three-year-old compatriot Barbora Palicová, celebrating 1: 6, 6: 3, 6: 1 after winning.
In total, she already won the fifth junior tournament, and she entered the category last autumn in a breathtaking style. She turned two of her first three starts into titles.
In mid-September, she made history in Cairo, Egypt. At the age of 13, five months and nine days, she became the youngest winner in this category since 1995. At the time, she lost only one hundred on the way to the trophy and gave the canary to four of the five socks.
She also dominated at the end of October in Istanbul, where she lost only 17 games in the entire tournament, and only two in the semifinals and finals.
After all, the younger of the sisters showed last summer that she can boldly compete with adult stars. In Prostějov, she was shocked by the victory over Kateřina Siniaková, and at the exhibition in Nice, where she was invited by the owner of the local academy and the coach of Serena Williams, Patrick Mouratogla, she tormented Alizé Cornetová.
“Unbelievable. She plays incredibly because she is 13 years old. She has a bright career ahead of her. I will watch her and I can’t wait to see her play in three or four years, for example,” the Frenchwoman admired the young Czech.
Maureen Diaz, the coach of American girls, did not hide her enthusiasm either.
“She and her sister Linda have an excellent tennis IQ, they move well and are constantly gaining experience because they play a lot of tournaments. They seem to know the game well and have an excellent support network,” she said.
The Fruhvirts are only part of a new wave of young Czech tennis players with huge potential. In addition to them, Linda Nosková, Nikola Bartůňková and the already mentioned Barbora Palicová are also in the world’s best junior 50.
Last but not least, fifteen-year-old Sára Bejlek is experiencing a phenomenal rise, and she already ranks in the top four in the adult ranking, similar to Linda Fruhvirtová and Nosková, who are a year older.
