Touted as a super-talent for a long time, Linda Fruhvirtova will play in her first WTA final today in Chennai after a superb week of tennis.
From a very young age, Fruhvirtova was touted as the next big thing. Everything she did was under the microscope and each match was dissected multiple times:
“Since I was really young, we always had a lot of attention, even if it was the national U-10 tournament. I’m kind of used to people watching how I am going to do." said the 17-year old adding:
"However, in tennis, as soon as you lose two matches, people say, 'Oh, she’s going down' and then you win two matches and they go 'She’s a star.' You can’t really focus on what other people are saying. That’s not where my focus is going.”
Linda advanced to her maiden WTA Tour final on Saturday by defeating 2020 French Open semifinalist Nadia Podoroska 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in Chennai. Fruhvirtova overcame a 4-2 deficit in the final set to win, and she is now anticipated to enter the WTA singles Top 100 rankings on Monday.
