Reds Rage as Czech Net Aces Seek American Passports
Former Czech Davis Cup stars Jaroslav Drobny and Vladimir Cernik prepared to apply for U.S. visas after refusing a return home. They hoped to compete in American tournaments later this summer if visas are granted, following Swiss championship results where Drobny lost in singles and he and Cernik won the doubles. Prague press angrily labeled them traitors for seeking visas, accusing them of double dealing despite past praise for Wimbledon success.
