Tereza Martincová secured participation in the main competition of the tournament in Linz
She was used to the crowded central courts and maximum care wherever she played. Now, however, Wimbledon finalist from 2013 and former world twelve Sabine Lisická had to deal with an environment that is familiar to tennis players from the lower deck. In a duel with Tereza Martincová, the players had to serve the balls themselves, despite the usual customs.
The Czech tennis player, who belongs to the 121st place, went to the match in the role of the ranking favorite, her opponent is only at the end of the seventh hundred. “Boom, Boom Sabine”, as the native of Troisdorf is nicknamed because of the overwhelming service, she has been suffering from health problems in recent years that almost ended her career some time ago.

And she’s not doing very well at the age of 31 to get back to the places she’s used to. “I have to say that she can feel that she has her qualities. In a few important moments she pulled out great balloons, she has a decent service. but it ‘s not so stable.
I’m not in the best condition, Martincová admitted
The non-traditional match was caused mainly by the absence of collectors, which did not bring much joy to Martincová, who had a longer game break due to a positive test for covid.
“It was annoying, especially since I’m not in the best shape. So going there for the balls was like … I don’t know, well. It was the same for everyone, but it’s weird. That it’s going to be played without pickers, I found out only before the match, when I received an e-mail, “the winner commented on an unconventional situation.

Martincová will face Croatian Fett in the first round, but this time the matches should take place in a classic composition. “I think there will be collectors in the main competition,” hopes the 26-year-old Czech.
Kateřina Siniaková and Barbora Krejčíková from the Czech tennis players will also perform at the tournament in Vienna.
