Tereza Valentová has successfully passed the first adult Grand Slam season. At the age of eighteen, she was able to go through the qualifications in Paris and New York, and in addition to both Grand Slam tournaments, add one win in the main competition. Young Czech makes waves and is referred to in the world as one of the big stars of the future.
She played against Coco Gauffa at Roland Garros. The later clampo of the clay Grand Slam took six Gams and the American SuperStar lost a few words about her: “She will be a great player.”
At the US Open, Valentová tried to compete with Wimbledon winner Jelena Rybakin. And she showed a significant shift. The Kazakhstan wounder had to fight a lot and blackmail the procedure after sets 6: 3, 7: 6.
She also praised the young Czech and predicted her great future.
“She played very well. She’s young and she has very good blows. She went for every point and it wasn’t easy. We’ll see her more often,” she said, admitting she had sighed.
Valentová got one of the favorites under pressure and in the second set she developed a lead 5: 2. However, it did not change four setbols in which there was insufficient experience.
Nevertheless, she flew in the ranking to the eighth tens and next time she will not be caught in the demanding qualification. Her way up seems to be inevitable.
In the world ranking are only two younger players, American Iva Jovicová and the world five, Russia Mirra Andreev.
The wild fighter, whose main tennis model is Novak Djokovic, was able to admirably process a sports tragedy that happened to her this year’s Wimbledon.

Then she moved to a larger tournament to Prague and added a sensational semifinal after three wins.
Coach Libor Salaba then shone in New York, where she won four matches with a qualification and her victory in the first round of Italian Lucia Bronzetti attracted attention.
