WTA Insider Podcast


Nov 17, 2015

On this episode we look back on the Fed Cup final, which saw the Czech Republic win the title for the fourth time in five years, this time beating a Russian team led valiantly by World No. 4 Maria Sharapova. And we'll look at the nominees for the 2015 WTA Awards, which were just announced on Monday. Finally you'll hear from David Kotyza, long-time coach to two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova. I sat down with Kotyza during the WTA Finals in Singapore to discuss the evolution of his relationship with Kvitova, whom he's coached since she was 18. What was meant to be just a quick five-minute quote grab turned into a 30 minute conversation about Petra's struggle to adjust to the "WTA zoo", how her sudden decision to step away from the tour earlier this season came about, and how Kotyza has put his job on the line multiple times for the good of his charge. It's a conversation you won't want to miss. To read the WTA Insider article on Kotyza click this link: http://www.wtatennis.com/news/article/5102234/title/kotyza-enjoying-journey-with-kvitova
