Blaž Kavčič Thread

The crazy and fun loving Slovene deserves his own thread. He has been a part of the Slovenian DC squad with Gregorc and his good friend Zemlja.

Thanks to Milan for this pics.

Excellent start to the comeback defeating Bagnis 6-2 6-1 plays either Collarini or Migani in the next round.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

Lost in the semis to Zeballos 5-7 6-3 6-2 in Sao Leopoldo. Zeballos was pretty aggressive and Blaz finally got some matches in though he had an injury timeout on his back at 0-1* in the 3rd set.

Off to Marbella and then there'll be history with 3 Slovenes into the Aus Open directly. Trupej really hasn't done anything to improve Blaz since they've been together.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

Zemlja spoke about his good work with the trainers needs to keep working hard.

Blaz talking about the issues he has had with his back preparing to go to Chennai, Melbourne. Play a mix of Challengers and ATP, but most importantly wants to get over the injuries.

Bedene came back too soon from the appendicitis surgery, didn't have enough time for fitness preparation, plus having some issues with the wrist as well.

Bedene does spend plenty of time on his hair.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

I watched that, the interview itself was a bit of a bore so nothing new to say.

Kavcic
- talked about having to play tournaments in obscure places because losses on the ATP level can damage your confidence and he needs to boost himself up by winning weaker tournaments(talked about having to wash himself with a bucket in Uzbekistan)
- said that he won most of the matches against Zemlja in the U-14 category but started losing once they got to the professional level (the host avoided mocking them for never having beaten Zemlja in their matches)
- said that they used to make fun of Zemlja in juniors because he hated getting up in the morning and he kept coming to early matches sleepy and grumpy.
- Kavcic and Zemlja are playing 2 exhibitions in Slovenia these days.
- believes he's had luck picking the right coaches
- travelling to Australia with him will be Petra who won the ballot of one of Blaz's sponsors.

Bedene
- talked about his twin brother Andraz who retired this year, but will be travelling with Aljaz as his sparing partner. They used to be very close game wise but Andraz never broke out.
- said about the traumatic experience in Brazil when there was an explosion in their hotel and he could've died had he not been outside.

They both also mentioned that they're starting the season in Chennai. The rest was pretty much what you've already mentioned.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

Blaž got Bautista-Agut in the 1st round, should be very hard fought match and the winner plays Lu or Bachinger.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

Is he going to play Qualies in Sydney/Auckland or is he going straight to Melbourne?

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

Blaz did double duty in Sydney qualies. He took down Hajek and then Di Wu, now plays Harrison for a spot in the main draw.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

A very easy upset against Bellucci in the first round with a 6-3 6-1 6-3 win. Next up is James Duckworth. Huge chance to reach the third round if he keeps it together.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

Blaz needs to step it up, a tough tie for Slovenia without Bedene.

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

He has never been known for having a brain when it comes to scheduling, but what is up with him now?

He goes to a random US ATP and chokes to Hewitt, instead of continuing to play the American events, he returns to Europe and plays none of the tournaments there and then goes and shows up in Dubai?

And why is he not playing those challengers aka ATP events in his beloved South American jungle?

Re: Blaž Kavčič Thread

He is working in Dubai at times.

Blaz has been involved in a car accident, very lucky that he is alive and it will be interesting to see how he handles tennis after a big scare like this.

What work does he do in Dubai? Is he a tennis coach to the rich & shameless?

Glad to hear he's okay after the car crash. Where did the crash happen?

Well he was shaken up that's pretty clear.
