Martin Blasko has been raised in Kosice where he was a member of VSE TK Akademik Kosice club but then he agreed to a transfer to TC EMPIRE Trnava since 2013. He will stay in Trnava until 2020 after the signing of a new deal.
The Russian tennis player Darya Kasatkina is only 17 years old but she has already been successful among women. She was training at the TC EMPIRE tennis club under the supervision of coach Vladimir Platenik, head coach of the EMPIRE Tennis Academy. She was thrilled about the preparation and environment.
The concept of the elite EMPIRE Tennis Academy turns into reality. After engaging an experienced coach Vladimir Platenik in our club, we have agreed to cooperate with Maros Molnar, who has lead fitness trainings of numerous well-known Slovak professional athletes, including hockey, tennis players and footballers.
These days, the members of our club are working on their fitness in Skalka near Kremnica, Slovakia. The third week of six-week cycle of preparation is the difficult one, confirms the head coach Miloslav Grolmus.
The coaching team in the club has been strengthened since September 1, 2014 by a coach who was working with top players of the WTA rankings. Vladimir Platenik (38) is going to help our young players and his wish is to help them the way he did when he had succeeded as a coach of Dominika Cibulkova in 2007 - 2009. He will participate in the preparation of the EMPIRE Tennis Academy which is also going to be a space for the development of talented foreign players.
