This year’s Czech national championships will take place unconventionally in atumn but as usual there are four categories โ Men Women U21 Men and U21 Women. The venue is the National Training Centre in Havรญลov event starts on 9 October and ends on 11 October.
Many players regularly practice in the new modern hall so they will have a slight advantage over other. That applies to for example Hana MATELOVร Zdena BLAล KOVร Kateลina TOMANOVSKร or Lubomรญr JANฤAลรK.
The latter who plays in the German Bundesliga for TTC OE Bad Homburg is one of the main favourites for the title in men’s singles. He had a great year. At the World Singles Qualification in Doha he booked his ticket to the Olympics where he progressed to the second round. Before that JANฤAลรK reached the men’s singles quarterfinals at the European Championships in Warsaw. And just a few days back he was a pillar of the national team at the European Team Championships in Cluj.
On top of that there will be no Tomรกลก POLANSKร or Pavel ล IRUฤEK at the Czech nationals. POLANSKร was called-up for Saarbrucken’s match in the German Cup and ล iruฤek is still injured. That paves the way for JANฤAลรK to claim his first single’s title in his career. His biggest rivals will be Tomรกลก TREGLER and two really experienced players Dimitrij PROKOPCOV and Jiลรญ VRรBLรK.
The biggest favourite among women is Hana MATELOVร. She has six gold medals in her bag already and is unbeaten in the last four years at the Czech nationals. She won’t have to face runner up at last championships Karin GROFOVร (ADรMKOVร) who’s pregnant so the biggest rivals will be Zdena BLAล KOVร Kateลina TOMANOVSKร and Tamara TOMANOVร.
