I cannot life without tennis. I am much interested in activity sports. At beginning eleven ten years old, I I have begun training tennis with my coach. Court is the nearest to house ca 40m. I am particularly going to court as to work.

Now I am preparing to give the project CISS for the Deaf in the World.

Several times, we are speaking to discuss with the vice-president Czech Tennis Association. Mr Marek Moravec who will be helping for tournament next two years in order to arrange a tournament Prague Tennis Open for the Deaf.

Last year, I was advising my project to lecture them in Austria. In a hall, I was sitting next to Madam Robinson who works with EDSO and CISS, the department tennis in Belgia. We both dealt of the news, so I will be preparing the project and need to keep to 2003 year. I must that contact from Czech Tennis Association, CISS and Czech Sports Association for the Deaf.

In Austria, I saw a man. He was so clever and very strong - like a steel. I did not know his name then. When I was in Austria and I watched the deaf tennis are playing tennis as very good sports. The tournament is organized a big activities for the Deaf tennis players. They get money from marketing companies.

I met the strong man at a court. I spoke with him. His name is Ronald Krieg from German. He is really excellent tennis player. I asked him WHY DO YOU NOT PLAY AS A PROFESSIONAL PLAY? Krieg Ronald explained me that a well-know tennis trainer Nikola Pilic wanted to help him. But when Pilic knew the Krieg was Deaf, he could not help him. It was sad and too damage.

I am just trying to make a contact with ETA and ITF/European Tennis Association and International Tennis Federation/. I wanted because of the Deaf tennis players to play as professionals. I am really trying to send to czechwoman Martina Alterova who works at a office ETA in Suiss and also to vice-president Marek Moravec of the CTA in Prague. I hope that they can help me to arrange for marketing companies. These companies would give support to tournament of Deaf professional tennists.

I want to organize PRAGUE TENNIS OPEN for the DEAF in 2003. It would be a tournament for the Deaf professionals. I think that the deaf will show that they can marketing companies will give us a nice cheque.
