Czech tennis players have five single single players for the first time in the Grand Slam eight -final round. Jiří Lehečka, Tomáš Macháč, Markéta Vondroušová, Barbora Krejčíková and Karolína Muchová, who beat Linda Nosková today, today. Four representatives were the maximum.
The Czechs launched the last Grand Slam tournament of the season with 12 participants in the main competition, five of which were deployed. In the first round they played Petra Kvitova, Marie Bouzkova, Kateřina Siniakova and Vít Kopriva. Jakub Menšík and Tereza Valentová failed in the next phase.
“It’s really great that others are doing well. It’s a great success. We support each other. We see each other here, we wish good luck and congratulate on the win,” told Czech journalists Muchová.
The key to the new maximum was successful 3. In it Vondroušová defeated the seeded seven Italian Jasmine Paolini, Krejčíková coped with the tournament ten Emma Navarrová from the USA, Lehka eliminated Belgian Raphäel Collignon and Macháč overcame Uga Blanchet from France. Today Muchová was supplemented by Muchová after a successful Czech derby with Nosková.
“It’s amazing, perfect. We are finally doing well and playing well. I hope it won’t end up in the 4th round and we’ll be doing well. Krejčíková told Czech journalists.
The current maximum was four participants of the fourth round. In this number, the Czechs last played in the eight -finals of Wimbledon last year, when Light, Bouzkova, Kvitova and later champion Vondroušová got among the top sixteen.
Macháč also appreciated the new milestone. “It’s great. We have the quality to play with the best. There was a period when only girls were pulling. But now we’re three boys around twenty,” stated. “The surface here is very fast and it is very difficult here. I think even excellent players can have a problem,” added a Beroun native, who is in the eight -finals of the US Open for the second time in a row.
Given that none of the Czech players got into the quarterfinals on the previous three Grand Slams, Muchová evaluated the current success carefully. “It’s hard to say. One Grand Slam is not even one in the other round and now we are doing here. It’s so up down. Guys and other girls play great. I think the generation is always strong, even if sometimes it doesn’t. Muchová added.
The fighting for the quarterfinals will start in New York on Sunday. Frenchman Adrian Mannarino awaits light, Machac encounters the fourth seeded Taylor Fritz. Krejčíková will face American Taylor Townsend, Vondroušová will invite the nine deer Rybakin from Kazakhstan and Muchová will play with Marta Kosťuková.
