Probably the next big Czech prodigy, after Marketa.

She's still only 11 (born May 1, 2005) and winning matches at good U14 level! :worship:

She played Les Petits As (the U14 Slam) a month ago and actually upset 8th seed Alina Scherbinina, 6-3 3-6 6-2 in R1, before losing a close R2 match to Fatima Keita (who later reached the QFs), 6-4 6-7(4) 1-6. :awww:

These girls are 2 years older than her!

She also was part of the U14 Czech Team for the Winter Cup team competition these last weeks.

She's now playing Open Super 12 Auray (more or less the U12 equivalent to Les Petits As), and needless to say it'll be a huge disappointment if she doesn't win it... She's off to a god start there: dismantled Emma Jouy 0 & 1 in R1 today!

:yeah:

Last year, she won 2 singles titles out of the 3 finals she played: G12 Mouratoglou Cup in France (beating Sarah Mueller, 6-4 2-6 6-3 in the final), and Cat. 2 G14 Milten Cup in Milovice (beating Alina Granwehr, 7-6(4) 6-1 in the final)

:yeah: - the final she lost was the first she played, at G12 TC Euroregion Nisa in Hradek Nad Nisou: she lost 7-6(2) 4-6 2-6 to Linda Noskova, who she had previously lost to in SF of G12 Moser Cup in Rakovnik a month before (4 & 4). However Linda N. is 6 months older, but she's one to watch as well for sure!

Her W-L record for 2016 is: 20-4. :worship:

Keep going Linda!

Edit: She has a young sister, Linda (born April 2, 2007), who looks at least equally promising! :bolt: :inlove:

I'm not an expert by any mean, by I haven't seen a Czech juniors whose results have been overshadowing all the other girls' results since Maky, and I like what I saw when I watched her a bit on Les Petits As stream :awww:

Re: Linda Fruhvirtová

Linda had entered next week's Cat. 1 G14 TIM Essonne, but she withdrew from it 2 days ago... too bad, the field was weaker than at Les Petits As but it's still a very strong tournament so I would have loved to see how she'd done there

Yes, she has younger sister and she plays tennis very well. :wavey:

:wavey:

You should follow her too.

She is playing U12 Neride Cup this week.

Little Brenda had bye in R1. In R2 she defeated Nikol Apostolova 6-0 6-0.

In R3 she will face Japan player Yu Kikawa. :cheer:

In R3 Little Brenda faced Yu Kikawa and wins 6-0 6-0, again! :scared:

It's too easy for her.

Re: Linda Fruhvirtová

Little Brenda won Neride Cup 2017 without dropping a set. :hi5:

:hi5:

In QF she beat Irina Balus 6-1 6-4. Irina played Winter Cup for Slovakia this year. In SF she defeated Nikola Bartunkova 6-3 6-1. One of the best Czech U12 players had no answer.

In the final she beat another talented 2006 girl, Sara Bejlek 6-1 6-2. :worship:

:worship:

I'm pretty sure she will win many more tournaments. She will dominate juniors (with her sister) in a few years

I already knew Linda was impressive, well above her peers, but Brenda is arguably even more impressive. There is so much talent in the Czech Republic!
