Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With the extensive energy required for the sport you have to keep up your fitness levels too. What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Karolína Plíšková:
I really take care of my health, it’s the most precious thing I have. Therefore, I invest a lot in it. I mean, there’s always my fitness coach with me at all my tournaments as well as practice sessions; my priority is a good warm-up, stretching, compensation and stabilizing exercises. My team also includes a physiotherapist from a prestigious Spanish clinic, who looks after me during the most difficult parts of the season. Tennis seasons are extremely long, so you often experience some aches and pains, but prevention is essential. I don’t want to speak too soon, but so far I’ve avoided serious injuries.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Good Nutrition is needed for energy & survival, more so to pursue at international competition. Do you follow any special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Karolína Plíšková:
I’d say that I still have space for improvement in nutrition. But I’ve already improved a lot in this respect too. With a bit of exaggeration, not too long ago I was still eating only unhealthy meals like pizza etc., plus I ate irregularly and not enough. But we’re working on this in our team too and it’s already much better now. Mainly during practice periods and tournaments I eat regularly and I try to make sure my diet is balanced and varied. My nutrition also includes carbohydrate and protein drinks.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What other activities do you like pursuing besides tennis ?
Ms. Karolína Plíšková:
I try to enjoy the precious moments without tennis to the fullest. I like spending time in Monaco where I reside and where I like to relax in good weather. With my boyfriend we go out to have a good dinner, to the cinema, or I read a book. I also like visiting historical sites.
