Jedničkou je dvacetiletá Linda Nosková, kterou kromě Bouzkové doplňují Dominika Šalková (20) a dvě teenagerky Tereza Valentová (18) a Tereza Krejčová (16). Věkový průměr rovných dvacet.
„Jsme rády za nové tváře. Je hezké přivítat ještě mladší krev,“ rozesmála se Nosková. Pro nejmladší členku týmu Krejčovou byl povolávací rozkaz každopádně příjemným šokem. „Jela jsem zrovna ve vlaku, když mi to volala mamka. Jsem strašně šťastná,“ líčila loňská vítězka prestižního Orange Bowlu. „I pro mě to byl šok, když se mi kapitán ozval. Řekla jsem jen: Dobrý den, poslouchám pečlivě,“ vyprávěla Valentová.
Vzhledem k dešti omluvenek se česká sestava výrazně změnila a Pálův tým má teď úplně jinou energii, než tomu bylo v době zkušených fedcupových harcovnic, které sbíraly titul za titulem. V pozměněném formátu soutěže se Češkám nedaří prorazit k trofeji, ale nová generace v čele s Noskovou motivaci evidentně má. A bude to chtít dokázat i v porubské RT Torax Areně.
„Holky jsou super, tu partu si tady užíváme,“ přikývla Bouzková. „Pro nové hráčky to může být přínosná zkušenost, že se pak stanou pravidelnějšími členkami týmu. Samozřejmě jim chceme předat nějaké zkušenosti, jsme jim k dispozici. A já jsem rád, že máme tolik dobrých hráček,“ tvrdil Pála.
I v sestavě bez opor Karolíny Muchové, Barbory Krejčíkové, Markéty Vondroušové a světové jedničky v deblu Kateřiny Siniakové si Češky troufají na postup na podzimní finálový turnaj do Šen-čenu.
Na čtvrteční souboj, ve kterém domácí od 15 hodin vyzvou Brazílii, zbývá podle organizátorů ještě kolem 300 vstupenek.
„Povrch a míče nám vyhovují, má to vzestupnou tendenci. Sestavu na dvouhry už mám v hlavě. Musíme mít ale několik variant do debla, protože nevíme, jestli holky budou hrát singl hodinu a půl nebo tři hodiny. Zítřejší start je pro nás moc důležitý, abychom pak v sobotu proti Španělsku mohli usilovat o postup,“ věří Pála.

Verstappen reveals Piastri admiration as F1 title race takes shape
Max Verstappen has spoken on his admiration for new F1 world championship leader Oscar Piastri and praised his "very calm" approach.McLaren's Piastri sits at the summit of the Drivers' Championship standings for the first time heading into this weekend's Miami Grand Prix after winning back-to-back races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Verstappen finished second to Piastri at the last race in Jeddah after being penalised in their tussle at the race's first corner and is 12 points behind the in-from Australian in the nascent 2025 standings, with Lando Norris between them in the other McLaren."People forget a little bit - last year was his second year," said Verstappen of the 24-year-old Piastri, who has now won five of the last 17 grands prix."Now he's in his third year, and he's very solid. "He's very calm in his approach, and I […]

Why this Premier League title meant everything to Liverpool
When Alexis Mac Allister struck the goal that made Liverpool’s title feel that bit more secure, the noise that followed prompted principal owner John W. Henry to adjust his hearing aid.Yes, this isn’t baseball, John. This is football and this is Liverpool, where Henry and an entire generation of Liverpool supporters were experiencing something for the first time. It felt like the roof on the new Anfield Road stand was about to fly off. The boom at the other end seemed to rumble from the bowels of the Kop.All day long in the city there was a sense that the place was going to go up, and at the moment of reckoning the detonation was even louder.AdvertisementThe central figure in this scene was the referee, Tom Bramall. For four minutes of stoppage time, the focus of the crowd fell on […]
Enzo Maresca needs more Chelsea wins to turn doubters into believers
The frustration was coming through loud and clear.“Who’s going to stay around after the final home game to see the players walk around the pitch for a lap of appreciation?” a Chelsea supporter asked as he made his way to Stamford Bridge on the London Underground on Saturday. “What’s the point of doing that after everything we have seen this season,” he continued, his friend alongside him agreeing.AdvertisementElsewhere in the carriage, with the destination of Fulham Broadway just a few stops away, there were animated discussions about how head coach Enzo Maresca could get Cole Palmer back into form, and whether he was the right man to be in charge.Apart from the odd bewildered tourist or local going about their day, the vast majority of people in the carriage were heading to what most regarded as a ‘must-win’ match at […]
Emirates Stadium, European fortress
The home dressing room at the Emirates Stadium was built to Arsene Wenger’s specifications, but it is adorned with the language of Mikel Arteta.There is a treatment area where the walls are emblazoned with words such as “unity” and “trust”. In a corridor, there is a stencil that simply says, “This is our time.”The key messages are imprinted on the players just before they enter the tunnel. On one wall, a list reads: “Our non-negotiables: discipline, leadership, dominate, compete.” On another, in white lettering on a red background: “Fight until the end.” (James McNicholas/The Athletic)It is this mentality that has helped turn the Emirates Stadium into a European fortress (at least for the men’s side — Arsenal’s women’s team lost to Lyon at the Emirates earlier this month and had to overturn the deficit in France yesterday to reach the […]
