New Delhi: It was quite a surprise when Nicole Vaidisova, once the most promising WTA teenager, decided to give up the sport at the early phase of her career and marry fellow tennis player Radek Stepanek, 11 years her senior.
Radek, who had an image of seducing tennis beauties, due to his previous engagement with tennis legend Martina Hingis, started dating Vaidisova in late 2007 and their relationship culminated in marriage in July 2010 at Prague.
After three years of marriage, the Czech couple divorced in 2013.
