Sara Bejlek is 5’3” proving in tennis that while size may be important, mindset and superior execution are more important. This young lady won the Abu Dhabi Open a WTA500 tournament, which propelled her into the top fifty at a career high ranking of thirty-eight.
Sara Bejlek Bucks Tradition
Sara Bejlek is just twenty and we will hopefully see much more from this young Czech player. She plays left-handed, which works in her favor. I am curious to see how she builds on this performance. Traditionally, Czech players have been dominant tennis players; thus, I am curious to see how her career unfolds.
