We met on the stairs in Monte Carlo and he simply told me we would play together in a week”, smiles the former tennis player, who has mainly coached in the last year. Lucie Havlíčková.

The 17-year-old Czech tennis player is currently number one in the junior world and belongs to the greatest talents in Czech tennis. “They called me from Sparta because there was such a clever but bad girl. She was sixteen then,” says Dlouhý.

The Czech tennis player was chosen by Roger Federer himself to play before the game. “I think it was because I played well in doubles and stayed in tournaments for as long as he did, but at the same time I wasn’t competing with him in singles,” thinks Dlouhý, who also remembers on the podcast Dobojováno coaching Barbora Strýcová and laughs in amazement at the friends of hockey players who do not understand the system of shared changing rooms during tennis tournaments.

“They were surprised that in the cabin, as they call it, we don’t beat our opponents with hockey sticks,” recalls the tennis player.

What is a podcast and why don’t you call it Czech?

Podcast they are recordings of the spoken word placed on the Internet where anyone can reproduce them. The advantage of podcasts over radio broadcasts is that you can listen to your favorite show anytime, anywhere. If you are going to work, on vacation or don’t want to spend the evening watching TV, you just need to have your mobile phone with you, ideally headphones. The English word podcast comes from the combination of the words iPod and broadcast, there is still no established equivalent in Czech.

They have also released podcasts from last year News.
