Jan defeated Hector Ruiz-Cadenans 6-2 6-0 in the first round of Poznan Challenger, where is he the number one seed.

Win it Jan!

Jan defeated Rainer Eitzinger 6-0 6-2 in the second round, on to the quarterfinals. :yeah:

Jan defeated Werner Escahuer 6-2 6-4 in the quarterfinals, on the to the semis. Jan has only dropped 10 games in 6 sets so far. :yeah:

Jan defeated Nicolas Devilder 6-3 7-5 in the semifinals, on to the finals where Jan will face the double handed Serbian joke Ilija Bojolzac. Come on Jan, tear him a new one! :yeah:

This guy is on fire. I remember when he caught my attention reaching the top 200 in early 2003, he was only 19 I think, but had a few problems since then. Looks like he finally made his breakthrough.

Good to see someone else that has noticed Jan's recent good form. Feel free to post in here, I seem to be the only one that wants to follow his results here. :lol:

Is this the Hajek and Grinder appreciation thread?

Seriously he has been on fire winning Barletta, Braunschweig, Prostejov challengers and in the final of Prague as well.

Thanks for the pics of Jan, George, they're hard to come across for sure. :yeah:

Not a problem with the pics and I thought they would come in handy for sure and he should finish within the top 100 this year and that means he will come down to the Aus Open and I will watch him for sure.

He has talent, but these results have come from nowhere, there always seems to be a few players like that. I wonder when he will go onto the main tour.

Has anyone told that guy yet that there are also ATP events and that he could try to commit for them?
According to his atp playing activity he has a 0-1 record and that only match on the tour was 1972 in Hilversum!

:scratch: Must have been a player with the same name...

Lol... good discovery. I didn't know he had never played an ATP match.

I am curious to see how he fares in the bigger events, he'll surely get a direct entry at the US Open. Some players have been having troubles to make the transition from challengers to ATPs (e.g. Berlocq, Pashanski), just hope it's not the case with Hajek.

Jan Hajek is quite a common name in the Czech Republic and he was in the list for Stuttgart qualies, but he is in the final of Poznan.

Well he will just play mostly on the clay, though he could make Bucharest or Palermo.

He should have tried to come to Amersfoort :(

He should have tried to come to Amersfoort :(

Can't get an SE from winning a challenger :p

Hajek has done it again he has won another challenger in Poznan defeating Bozoljac and he is racking up the titles, once I find some more pics I will post them.

Hajek d. Bojolzac 6-3 6-4 :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

http://i1.tinypic.com/205ywx2.jpg

No, I meant he should have entered qualies. He could go far in these weak clay court events ;) And there's more points and prize money there than at Poznan-like Challengers.

He is waiting for the great events of Bucharest and Palermo and he will be on the main tour soon enough and GM is not ready for the Hajek.

congrats Jan

The Jan is having the week off and hopefully he will make an appearance in Kitzbuhel.

Jan is 8th on the list in Kitzi, but will probably have to qualify and I think he will be able to do that.

I will have a Hajek picture from RG later when I post all my RG photos :)

Jan has entered the San Marino challenger, where Volandri is the number 1 seed, hope he can continue the big streak going.

The Jan has drawn Vinciguerra in the first round and that is a match I'd like to see.

Jan took a tough 7-6 6-3 loss to Vinci today. :(

Jan is playing New Haven qualifying and came back from a set and a break down to take out Nenand Zimonjic 4-6 6-4 7-5. :woohoo:

Jan just defeated Antonio Ruiz Rosales 6-3 6-4 to advance to the final round of qualies, next he takes on Alex Kuzentsov who should be an easy win for Jan. :yeah:

Good that Jan is playing qualies for sure, gives him a bit of time to adjust to the US Open surface and hope he makes the MD.

Big Jan defeated Kuznetsov 6-4 6-3 and has made the main draw.

Jan plays compatriot dropshot Dlouhy in the 1st round of the US OPen.

Big Jan defeated Dlouhy in straight sets for his first win at a Slam and now plays Gonzalez in the next round.

Way to get your first ATP win in the big leagues, where it counts most Jan. :yeah:

Jan lost 6-4 6-4 6-2 to Gonzo, but good start to his main tour career.

He is going back to the clay and playing some Challengers in the next weeks.

Jan plays compatriot Bohdan Ulihrach in the 1st round of Palermo. Bohdan made the final last week in Poland, and this is Jan's chance to do well in this event and he will be fresh which is good.

Jan defeated Ulihrach in straight sets 6-2 7-6 and now plays the winner of Bracciali and Verdasco when the rain lets up.

Jan will be playing in Adelaide and is on the alternate list for both Auckland and Sydney.

Then he will go to Melbourne and after that more than likely join the Davis Cup squad for their tie against the US.

This is the draw for the idiotic event in Adelaide and Jan is in the same group as Djokovic and the winner of ME8 which is either Muller or Jones.

You know Hajek injuries situation

i saw him in miami last week and i was reall impressed by his game.
Now he has a new fan, but actually i'm not very informed about him, can someone tell me something about his carreer and about his injuries?

thanks and
COME ON JAN!

You know Hajek injuries situation

What is it exactly?:confused:

Hajek won in first round at Monza Challenger, defeated Marc Lopez (ESP) 6-3 7-5. :)

Well it looks like Jan is back in form, he picked up 3 straight sets victories over Mayer, Vliegen, and Silva-Vidal at the World Team Cup. He will play Jose Acasuso or Agustin Calleri in the final tomorrow.

Jan has been attacking well and Jaro has been on the sideline helping him out as well and best of all he won by being aggressive and not passive, even when he was missing some shots.

Hope he continues on from here.

Hi guys, thanks for all the info. on Jan's progress :worship:

I was just wondering whether somebody could please tell me something about Jan's recent injury problems (I've been wondering why he is retiring so much). He is obviously a talented player and I would like to put money on him to beat Tojo in the FO first round. Any thoughts?

Jan took out Thomas Johansson 7-5 7-6 7-6 in the first round of RG today, he's got a great chance to make it to the third round against Bohdan Uhilrach. If Jan keeps up his good form, he's got a legitimate shot at the fourth round/quarterfinals. Come on Jan! :rocker2:

Jan is into the third round with a 1-6 6-2 7-6(6) 3-6 6-2 win over Ulihrach. First time into the third round of a major for Jan. Baghdatis is next. :rocker2:

Good stuff by Jan, seems he has realised that he can play at this level and Baghdatis won't be easy at all.

Jan's shoulder problem is fine and is back trying to defend his title in Prostejov, some pics from 2006 and the shoulder problem from RG.

I realised Jan the first Time in Dusseldorf this year where I saw him playing and he is a really good player with a lot of potential. I am following more of his matches since Dusseldorf and I will see him again in Stuttgart in a few weeks. I hope he can improve a lot in the next weeks/months...

Jan is on the Entry List of all the summer clay events, though as an alternate, we'll see whether he gets in.

Here are some pics of Jan at Wimbledon, thanks Princess Adam.

Jan started the season at 469 and is now in the 330s, if he keeps the form up, he should be able to make the low 200s at the end of the year, if he is fit.

He hasn't been playing Futures, he has been playing Challenger qualies and making many main draws. Best result this year was the recent semi final in Athens as a qualie, didn't lose a set until losing to Rui Machado in 3.

Jan qualified for Ostrava, took out Mayer and Mello both in straight sets.

Jan won the Ostrava CH as a qualifier, think this is the 3rd time he has won a challenger as a qualifier. He defeated Kubot, Darcis and Dodig in the final.

Hajek qualified for the Prostejov Challenger and he has defeated Jan Minar in 3 sets and Gimeno 6-3 6-1. He now plays Ljubo in the quarter finals.

Jan :yeah: keep it up :)

Hajek defeated Ljubo 6-3 6-3 and now he plays Starace in the semis.

The big Jan does it again, he has made the final of Prostejov taking out Starace 6-4 7-5.

great :yeah:

Jan takes the title in Prostejov taking out Darcis 6-2 1-6 6-4.

Jan Hajek: I am unbelievably happy.

Jan Hajek from the Tennis Club AGROFERT Prostějov triumphed in the final of UniCredit Czech Open in Prostejov, the tournament subsidized with 127.500 EUR. He defeated the Belgian Steve Darcis 6:2, 1:6, 6:4.

Twenty-five year old Hajek won the tournament for the second time in three years. This year he was a great surprise of the tournament as he was neither seeded nor admitted directly to the main competition but had to fight his way up from qualification. In the history of the tournament there are only a few players to win the tournament twice: Czechs Radek Stepanek and Bohdan Ulichran, and Richard Fromberg form Australia.

Hajek entered the match very impressively. He broke Darcis’ serve twice and with five successful games in a row won the first set in less than 30 minutes. “I was nervous at the beginning, I did not sleep very well today, I was thinking this match over and over ...,” said Hajek at a press conference after the match.

But Darcis pulled himself together in the second set. He hit balls with increased force and accuracy and Hajek fell into depression. “I am sorry I missed the beginning of he second set, I should have had to push on my opponent more strongly. The situation from our match in Ostrava repeated. I was too passive and Steve was better in the second set,” added Hajek who went to the bathroom after the set to get refreshed a little bit. “I calmed down there and told myself this was going to be my last set at the tournament and I was resolved to win.”

The Czech player delivered completely different performance in the last set. He was more concentrated and won three games in a row. But the way to the championship was still to be a tortuous one. Darcis did not give up even at the score of 2:5, on the contrary, he diverted one match point when serving and than managed to break another Hajek’s serve. However, in the end Hajek managed to turn his fourth match point into the victory in the whole tournament.

This victory pushed Hajek to the world’s second hundred in ATP ranking but not to the qualification in Wimbledon and he will have to go on at challengers on clay. His futures plans include participation at the tournaments in Kosice and Bytom in Poland.

How he evaluated the tennis week in Prostejov?
“It was great, I won eight matches. Each match was a great battle. It started with a duel against Robin Vik and finished today in the final. I am very happy I kept the shape throughout the whole tournament and unbelievably happy I managed to triumphed in the end.”

Great job Jan :yeah:

Jan :worship:

Jan lost the final in Bytom to Recouderc, 6-3 6-4.

This week is playing in Rijeka, already reached semis :yeah:

Jan has managed to display remarkable consistency from week to week, seems like it just jump-started happening in Athens.

Delighted I was there last April. :yeah:

Hajek is steaming through and this would be remarkable if he could make the top 100, by the end of the year, considering where he came back from.

Jan is playing Ramirez-Hidalgo in the first round of Poznan.

He handed tough opener.

Since Ivo Minar very likely won't be in the next Davis Cup tie against Croatia, captain Jaroslav Pospisil said the Czech team might be Berdych, Stepanek, Dlouhy and then Hernych or Hajek.

It doesn't matter at all since Berdych and Stepanek will be the only guys who will come to play.

If we want to win.

If we want to win.

Yes, that's true, he has the chance of playing a dead rubber or replace one of Tomas or Radek if any of them is injured (that hopefully won't happen).

Hajek in the final of Freudenstadt. :) will play the winner of Flo Mayer vs. Recouderc. Hajek lost only eleven games in his route to the final (3 and 1 to Vik, 1 and 1 to Sorenesen, 1 and 1 to Sirianni and 3 and 0 to Brands)

Jan defeated Recouderc 2-6 6-3 7-6(5) to capture his third Challenger Tour title of the season.

Took out Grigor goat in 2 sets for a place in the QFs.

He also beat Guillaume Rufin 6-2 6-3 to advance to the quarters.

Jan thumped Luczak 6-2 6-2, will more than likely play Gimeno-Traver in the semis.

he's moving like a steamroller through the draw.

Jan should make the AO next season, but he hasn't been playing recently due to a back problem, though he is in the Czech squad for the Davis Cup final, where they are training for it in Prostejov.

Hajek defeated Greul 3-6 6-2 6-4 in Chennai and will play either Phau or Giraldo next.

looks like the new season has started reasonably well.

Jan drew Marin Cilic in the first round of Zagreb.

he couldn't have expected a tougher opponent.

Hope he can have an injury free year and do well in the clay season when it comes around.
