A nation of roughly ten million people showing how a tennis power is built. The association headquarters and club on Štvanice Island in the Vltava have anchored the game for a century and produced Ivan Lendl and Martina Navratilova — both eventually representing the United States, but with technical roots in the Czechoslovak coaching system. The real strength is women's consistency: twelve Billie Jean King Cup titles rank second only to the United States, seven of them since 2011. Petra Kvitová won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014; Barbora Krejčíková took Roland Garros in 2021 and Wimbledon in 2024; Karolína Plíšková reached world No. 1 in 2017. Among men, Lendl led Czechoslovakia's first Davis Cup win in 1980; Radek Štepánek and Tomáš Berdych delivered back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013. Miloslav Mečíř's 1988 Seoul gold belongs to the Czechoslovak era — shared successor heritage with Slovakia today.

Rivalry

Czechia and Russia met repeatedly in Billie Jean King Cup finals through the 2010s — a running comparison of the two women's systems that defined the era's team tennis.
