Linda Fruhvirtova and Brenda Fruhvirtova both made the Australian Open main draw and Marion Bartoli thinks they are the future of tennis.
In some ways, they are already the present of tennis as Linda won a WTA title already while being ranked inside the top 100. Her younger sister Brenda also made the main draw in Australia but she's not ranked in the top 100 yet.
For Brenda to be able to go into the main draw at such a young age and for Linda to be in the fourth round and go into three sets against Donna Vekic, knowing how young they are…you can see this whole new generation starting to push, the under-18s."
They have always been known as good talents and both practised at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in recent years. For Bartoli, it will be interesting to see how they develop further in their career because they are clearly the future of tennis.
That for me is going to be very interesting for women’s tennis. We need to have some rivalries taking place; we need to have some new, young girls that our young kids can be excited about. I feel those girls can be the future of women’s tennis and can really push the ones who are established to do better and to push them to their highest.
