Strýcová makes her debut as captain. Czech tennis players compete in the Billie Jean King Cup in Switzerland

Barbora Strýcová played her first day in the role of captain of the Czech tennis team in a Billie Jean King Cup qualifying match in Switzerland. During the matches she appeared full of energy and enthusiasm, which she passed on to her players from the bench. irozhlas.cz ↗

Marie Bouzková faced home favorite Belinda Bencic in the first match. After a long and dramatic contest, she eventually lost to the Swiss player 3:6, 7:6, 4:6. Although she lost the match, she believed she had at least tired out her opponent and had put on a good showing for her teammates. idnes.cz ↗

The new captain Strýcová was very active and emotionally supportive during the matches. She kept sitting on the bench, from which she constantly jumped up to encourage her players, brought them water, and hopped with excitement. During the anthem, adrenaline ran through her veins so intensely that it sent chills down her spine. After the first day, she said herself that if she could, she would happily have rushed onto the court. sport.cz - hokej ↗

After the first day of the qualifying tie, Czechia leads Switzerland 1:1. Strýcová experienced the two matches differently — with Marie Bouzková she lived through the match's emotions intensely, while she watched the second match calmly. She enjoyed both duels, though, and seems to feel more than good in her new role. She reportedly said she would like to go for a run after the matches to shed the built-up energy. idnes.cz ↗
