“Lehy showed a perfect movement on London’s grass for a week. He traditionally supported it with a great service and the subsequent first blow he had driven in the exchanges from the beginning. This is his tennis, so he needs to play and walk for the ball,” Dušan Lojda.
Finally. After months of clay suffering, one great tennis week came again, on the grass just before the Wimbledon holiday.
After the injury, Markéta Vondroušová managed to get back in shape, as he had several times. She has only played the second tournament since February and it is the title.
She herself said she had no expectations that she just went to Berlin to start so that Wimbledon was not all sore from the transition to the grass, and let’s look, eventually stood there with trophies as a winner.
Sometimes it happens, but it certainly can’t be said that it was a coincidence. She defeated unbelievable players. Madison Keys, Diana Šnajder, and even the world leader Aryna Sabalenko. The tournament was brutally beaten.
We all know that Markéta is always just about health. She is terribly handy and her game pays on the grass. The left turn is a huge weapon AK can do that short. On the grass, the opponents do not even have a chance to run and respond.
Perhaps it is just a springboard for other great results. She is still 25 years old. It seems that it has also stabilized in terms of the coaching team. They had worked with Honza Hernych before, then Maky tried Honza Mertl, but they returned with Herňa to him and I think it still works.
I know Herňa from my own career. He’s a cool man, I wouldn’t be afraid to say a salami sometimes. But that’s exactly what Markéta needs.
At a time when you are constantly returning after serious injuries, operations, you need someone to make training sometimes and just don’t dictate what to do. In addition, Markéta has undergone other difficulties in recent years. The death of the grandfather who brought her to tennis, then divorce…
In this, Markéta is, like other Czech girls, a player who has enough tennis intelligence to deal with the court and does not need any major interventions in technology. He was also an excellent grassland, so they can tune together how to improve movement on the court and so on.
Now the Wimbledon fans from Markéta will probably have more expectations. I also believe it could go far. But it will depend on many factors. Especially health. Whether her body lasts another six seven matches in a row.
Even though she won in Berlin, she still has no ranking to be deployed because of the previous absences. He can easily get a favorite in the first rounds.
And we will also see how he can establish himself on slower London courts. He definitely has a chance for further success, because in contemporary women’s tennis I do not see that someone is downright jumped as they are in the male Sinner with Alcaraz.
After all, Jirka Leheček at Queen’s Club was convinced of this on Sunday. In the end he did not make it to the title, but Alcaraz was more than a dignified opponent in the final. At the key moments, however, the Spaniard can pull out an incredible level of game, which is difficult to find an answer.
Lehy showed the perfect movement on the grass all week. He traditionally supported it with a great service and the subsequent first strike, which he chased from the beginning in the exchanges. That’s his tennis, that’s what he needs to play on the grass and walk for the ball.
I spoke the IS Jirka’s coaching team. He has a new fitness, David Píchal. He is a young boy, a former striker of Football Prostějov. And obviously the cooperation tunes them, they did an excellent preparation before the grassy season, and it was obvious that it was physically very good in London.
I know Lehy in human terms and I know that he makes a huge difference in self -confidence. After the February semifinals in Doha, he had a sad line of six tournaments where he won a single match. At the end of the clay season he began to break it, defeated the clay and now, and now he is back.
Moreover, what I heard, he said he was looking forward to the grass because he lost it last year because of his injury. He likes green courts since his youth, six years ago with Jonáš Forejtek dominated the junior doubles, so after two seasons waiting he wanted to fly on this surface again and he is doing great.
He flies from the rocket again. He has always been said to have a very hard string, so that he can control the ball somehow and not flying everywhere. He was said to have dynamite in his hand, even when he wasn’t as immature as he was now.
The media also passed that Lucka Neumannová was actively cheering for him at the court. Who knows, maybe it played a role in the great week. It suits someone when a partner or family accompanies him.
Tomáš Berdych and his partner and later his wife Esther, who helped a lot that he had the closest person in his boxing. This is a similar case in the fact that both girls played tennis in the junior categories, so they know what the sport is about, they understand the tennis carousel.
In the case of Lehy, they and Lucka probably have their micro -world, both actively do sports, enjoy healthy nutrition, overall they have a similar lifestyle, and apparently it fits them like that.
Young greatly squeezed the form on clay
From the last tennis weeks, I would still poke Tereza Valentová and Sara Bejlek, who took advantage of the form from Paris and extended the season on clay in smaller tournaments. Both even won the title and collected a lot of points.
It was a great choice for me. There are teenagers, they still don’t play much on the grass, so why not use forms from clay, squeeze points and approach a hundred. The grass is specific in that it takes a few years to get used to it, you have to experience the movement, the matches on it over time.
Dalibor Svrčina is closer to a hundred. He also went to Poznan on clay and played the finals on the Challenger. Broke the black series of results he had and is already 113. It does not seem, but when you get to the final of the Challenger, you get about as much points as for the evil round at the Grand Slam. Where he still has to qualify in his case.
In any case, Czech tennis has more positive prospects before another Grand Slam than he had before Paris. I believe that at least the boys could get into the second week. If he doesn’t get any heavy weight in the third round, it could work out.
We’ll see how it fits girls. Normally, I would believe a lot of Karolina Muchova, but it seems that due to health troubles he will continue to play with the well -chopped backhand. Although it is quite true on the grass, the ball slips, does not jump, but if it is unlucky on the lot and gets someone like Margaret Vondroušová, it will be difficult.
Before Wimbledon, the team strengthened by Václav Šafránek, a former excellent tennis player who is now training in Štvanice. The fly will be able to benefit from common sparling, he is still fit, keeps maintaining and playing.
However, if something after Paris is true, the fact that especially Czech girls in London will be about how long it will last healthy or at least without major pains that would limit them.
