今年成績大有斬獲的Cetkovska，在溫網分別擊敗Radwanska和Ivanovic闖進16強。
本週又接連打敗兩位Top 10，Bartoli與李娜。
How did you get into tennis?
PC: I started playing tennis when I was five. My dad took me along to the
local club where I had group lessons and also one-on-one with him. I began
playing local weekend competitions when I was six, ITF juniors at 14, and ITF
events when I was 16. When I was young I also played basketball, I was
swimming, I played ice hockey. But tennis won.
小時候嘗試各種運動(籃球、游泳、冰球)，最後還是選擇了網球。
Tell us about your family.
PC: My mother is Alena, she's a nurse, and my father, Petr, works in the pro
shop at the tennis club. He's not a coach, although he did work with me. I
have a younger brother, Matej, who's still at high school.
What's your coaching situation at the moment?
PC: I've been working with Stéphane Charret since February last year. He's
also the coach of Mathilde Johansson. We train together either at Roland
Garros or at a sports complex owned by Lagardère. Changing my surroundings,
finding this coach and a place to do my physical training, has really helped
me to turn things around.
仍舊是法國教練。
How do you describe your playing style?
PC: My game is aggressive, with variety. My favorite shots are the forehand,
and serve and volley. With Stéphane I've been working on all aspects of my
game, but one key element is getting me to relax more during matches.
Do you have a favorite surface?
PC: No, I like all surfaces.
What's your best tennis memory to date?
PC: Reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon this year was great. I also
remember the feeling when I won the 14/U European Championships! But every
day is special, getting to enjoy playing tennis and travelling and making the
most of this extraordinary opportunity.
Who do you admire in tennis?
PC: Roger Federer. He's a great player and a good person.
You've lived in Paris for several years. How do you like it?
PC: I still spend time in Prostejov in the Czech Republic, but I moved to
Paris when I was 20. It's completely different - I grew up in a small city
with 60,000 people. I enjoy it because there's always something to do.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
PC: I don't have too much time - we seem to spend a lot of time in the car in
Paris, driving to and from training! But I enjoy reading - I like Joy
Fielding's thrillers - and spending time with my friends. I also love to
cook, especially fish dishes and soup. I don't really have much time to
dedicate to it, but I enjoy it when I do.
What are your goals in tennis now?
PC: My goal is to finish the year in the Top 50, which I think is going to be
possible. Otherwise just to work on myself and try to improve every day. If I
do things right, the results will come.
Do you have any idea what you'd be doing, if not playing tennis?
PC: No, none at all! I really enjoyed it from the beginning, and as I got
older and started to understand more, I never really thought about doing
anything else.
