This sounds so nutty (again) Bruce.

Unless you can say this is the best Pysio guy in all of the Czech Republic, why in the hell do I want a guy that used to date Lucie Safarova (unless Paulmara is wrong--which I'm confident he's not), for a multiple of reasons?

It just illustrates to me how his organization is run (cronies over competence or class).

How does Petra's father or (Gulp) Adam feel about this? And where's her Goddamn hitting Partner!?

Maybe you can help me out with this?

nothing would surprise me anymore considering what's been happening in the past year and half to Petra

It just illustrates to me how his organization is run (cronies over competence or class for Cernosek Cash).

How does Petra's father or (Gulp) Adam feel about this? I know Jiri had a problem with Petra's first coach. I'm not sure if was just communication issues or something more sundry? And where's her Goddamn hitting Partner already!?

Maybe you can help me out with this?

I mean, is it just me Timey, or this sounds weird/strange (especially for such a long search)? I mean all you can come up with is a guy that was Lucie Safarova's ex boyfriend!? Talk about "Inbred"

What ever happened to, 'I pick My Own People'?

Careful w/ that shit dude. You may get inundated with phone calls from hacks like journalists (looking for a dirty Kvitty gossip). They'll all be calling you, pretending that they are Petronius

This is what's wrong with Cernosek's inbred formula for Petra (and why she needs to leave or exert more control as soon as possible), why in the hell would I want Safarova's former Pysio guy in the first place? Forget the dating aspect for a second. What has she ever done? Is that all you can come up with Milos?

And if he didn't work with Safarova and just dated her (as I've discussed) that can be equally as bad and awkward.

I guess Cernosek read us complain about Crusty Czech Cronies for Petra, so now he got her a Young Cernosek Crony. OK.

maybe that's why CR never reaches anything real big in professional tennis tour even though their potential is (maybe) second to none (if we put Russia and US aside just temporarily)

i'm not saying they are the sole nation plagued by such inexplicability, but for a tennis tradition this profound, it's really a sad thing

hopefully Petra would be an beautiful exception to that

Petra dates Adam. Lucie Dates Tomas. Lucie dates the Pysio guy?

You not only had me chucking - it also made me look at that place in a slightly different light: basically Prostojev is sorta like a dog breeding program, except that instead of dogs....[fill in the blanks].

Gosh, this gives the "pojd" interjection a whole new meaning

Well, both Ivan Lendl and Martina Navratilova did leave the Czech Republic when they achieved their best success.

I hate to bring his up, cause I wanted to keep this to myself and stay positive, especially with Petra's talent. However, since you brought up the topic with the Czech Republics tennis players, I'm going to say this now Timey.

I remember during the 2011 season, I was speaking to someone on GM here in Tennis Forum, and I told them that "Petra will be #1". After I did that person responded to me and said "Petra can never be #1, cause no recent European player has made #1 with out going to America".

I'll never forget that discussion Timey. And as much as I wanted to argue with him, when I thought about it, I realized that probably was the case for the women (maybe not the men, with Roger, Rafa and maybe Djokovic as current examples), and he may of been right. It really made me think. However, I kept it to myself and hoped for the best.

Though I still would not like to believe what that individual said, but maybe it's situations like this for Petra in the Czech Republic, is exactly what that poster (and you now) were talking about?

Obviously, Petra doesn't have to go to America (or where ever) at this stage. Petra's already won her Lucky Slam. She just needs to have access to people outside of her small Czech, Crony Circle to maybe get the 2nd, third, etc, slam. The world should be open to her.


I don't think Martina, Lendl or Slozil are happy with Petra's people, coaching, management and career direction at the moment either (based off of their little public comments, and Martina's situation with the Czech tennis honcho's).

Bark Bark!!

I think just like with inbred dogs and human beings, those folks over their have gone plum loco and crazy now Raiden.

that's basically what i was trying to say, if Petra ever had wanted her tennis ambition badly enough, the desire, she would have left CR already (at least for her tennis dream)

PS: I meant "Djokovic" instead of Lendl as "current examples" earlier.

Well, she's already won a major a YEC and came very close to #1. So imagine how well she would do, if she had access to the world best people, instead of only Cernoseks's (since she already skipped the American/European Academies and world Junior systems)?

I can't imagine, unless I knew and liked the person, if I was picking a Pysio guy for myself, why I would pick I guy that used to date my teammate. And of course (with all due respect to Lucie), we're talking about a guy that worked with one of the most frustrating and continually disappointing players on the WTA tour. So what is exactly there in the pick? If I was Petra I would be insulted. But of course, Petra's too nice and complacent to ever feel like way.

Petra deserves much better than this. It's almost sad (or near criminally negligent). Sorry. This is just looks so ass backwards.

[Raiden]

Was the guy with Safarova while also working with her (as physio or in any other capacity) or were the two just only dating?

(I'm sure Adam wants to kno the answer to this question

[ShiftyFella]

I don't get, i thought he was or is some wrestler when Kristian dated Lucie but now he is physio coach? or my info about being him 'wrestler' is wrong?

[netphobia]

Why, though?

(Also, re leaving the CR, I don't know that even someone who was very passionate about tennis would speak up to their team about leaving their beloved country. It seems more the type of thing that would have to be suggested by someone else in order for it to happen - and obviously nobody that Cernosek installs is going to do that.)
