"We are happy that we acquired Tommy Robredo of Spain, he was world's number five in August 2006, Ernests Gulbis of Latvia was in the semifinals of Roland Garros three years ago which put him in the 10th place in ATP in June 2014. He beat Roger Federer and also our Tomáš Berdych in Paris then." Jiří Veselý and Adam Pavlásek were the only Czechs who passed to the main competition, the third player will be one of the qualifiers Michnev, Staněk.
"We gave the card to Patrik Rikl, he is one of the greatest talents in Czech tennis and he definitely deserves support." Petra Černošková traditionally believes that we will see our players in the final rounds. "Adam usually performs well in Prostějov and Jirka could achieve his third title."
The doubles are the best in history, the main star being Leander Paes of India, aged fourty-two, who has won fourteen Grand Slam titles, he participated in seven Olympic games."He was the one who contacted me whether he could come and promised to pick a good partner for the doubles," the Tournament boss said. "He is playing with David Marrer of Spain. Marrer and Robredo beat the first seeded Kontinen, Peers, the world's number one and two. But beware, they will face Slovak-Austrian couple Zelenay, Knowle in the first round. They already triumphed in Prostějov, so it will not be easy for Paes and Marrer. Their match could be played at any Grand Slam! Generally speaking, we can be really happy with the participation in this tournament, it presents many stars."
