Before getting Barbora into tennis, Pavla Hradecka took her son Petr to his tennis lessons; it was that way that Barbora became interested.
I started attending tennis courts in Ivančice when I was around three years old. My mom and I accompanied my older brother Petr. I was very passioned for tennis since beginning. I was running around tennis wall, trying to hit the ball with little board every afternoon.
First few years I grew up only on tennis wall and during winter I played few times in school gymnasium. Later I was allowed to go and play on clay court, where my first tennis coach was Mr. Antonin Ondra. My mom was the biggest supporter as she was coming with me to tennis every single afternoon.
