Re: Daja Bedanova - 網球 Tennis

WTA官網有她的近況訪問

http://www.wtatennis.com/page/OffCourtNews/Read/0,,12781~2548046,00.html

退休後在家鄉開了網球學校。

"During the break some friends asked me to play, so I did, and then they kept
asking more, then friends of friends asked, then finally a man asked if I
wanted to start a tennis academy, in a completely new sports facility built
in my hometown. So I figured I could be a coach. It has been great. I want to
show everyone that tennis can be fun. Kids, adults - from four years old to
65 years old, no limits. I take care of the tennis academy and I also
practice there too."

去年和交往九年同是網球選手的Jan Hajek結婚。

The tennis world also found Bedanova in another, more personal way. "I got
married to Jan Hajek, who plays on the men's tour, on April 1, 2010. We have
been together for over nine years and we've been married for almost two years
now. We live in Olomouc, which is 10 minutes from Prostejov. He travels a lot
but I have a lot of fun teaching in the academy and spending time with our
small dog, Rex. I'm enjoying life right now. Before I had no fun at all,
because there's really no time for these things when you're playing
professionally.

像是Clijsters等一些和她年齡相仿的選手仍在打職業，她覺得很厲害。
而她也一直有和一些選手們聯絡，像是Safarova。
當然她會懷念過去打球的時光，但是她很享受現在快樂的生活。

"There are so many players still around. Clijsters, she's my age and we
played a lot. The Williams sisters, Schiavone... there are so many of the
girls still playing right now. It's really amazing how they're still doing so
well.

"I still keep in touch with some of the players. Lucie Safarova lives close
by. And whenever I'm at a tournament with my husband, if it's a combined
men's and women's tournament, I get to see some of the players I know.

"I miss playing, but I'm really happy now. I wouldn't change anything."
