Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Currently ranked No. 6 in the world by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), you have won nine singles and five doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as 10 singles and six doubles titles on the ITF circuit in your career. Looking back at the incredible journey that you have had, share your experience with our audience?
Ms. Karolína Plíšková:
When hearing it like that, I must say my career has already been amazing. Playing at the biggest tournaments and winning trophies, that’s a dream for every starting tennis player. When looking back at the journey I’ve had from the beginning of my career in the small town of Louny, it’s incredible. But I’m definitely not resting on my laurels. I want to keep winning and I believe the biggest successes are still yet to come.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your passion for tennis is clearly visible. Well then, when did you decide that you wanted to take up your passion for the sport forward and pursue it professionally?
Ms. Karolína Plíšková:
Basically, it was quite clear from my early childhood. With my twin we’ve been playing tennis competitively from the age of four. Everything was subordinated to tennis. We even moved to Germany so that we could practice in a tennis academy there. We had individual study plans at school. Tennis has been a number one choice and a priority for me since childhood and I actually never thought about doing anything else.
