Nicole Vaidisova marries her prince charming Radek Stepanek
It had been going on for some time now – the long time affair between the two professional players Radek Stepanek and Nicole Vaidisova, and it was about time these two made it to the next step in their relationship. Wedding bells for these two love birds have been rung, and they have decided to spend the rest of their lives with each other.
Radek Stapanek is a professional tennis player from the Czech Republic. He made it to being ranked eighth in the world, which is his highest career ranking. This happened in 2006, when Stepanek managed to get to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon where he was defeated by Jonas Bjorkman, making this the furthest Stepanek had ever gone in any Grand Slam tournament throughout his career. After Wimbledon 2006, Stepanek had to take a break from the game for the rest of the year due to a chronic neck injury. Since then, he has not made it far in any Grand Slam and is currently ranked number twenty-nine in the world.
Nicole Vaidisova is also from the Czech Republic. This professional tennis player has made it further in her career as compared to Stapanek, as she has reached the semi-finals in the Australian Open and French Open. She also made it up to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. Her highest ranking has been number seven in the world. Unfortunately, this talented young star has retired from the game of tennis.
Although, Vaidisova has given her poor form as a reason for retirement, many blame her retirement on her relationship with Stepanek. Vaidisova, still being at a very early stage in her career, could have managed to go further in the world of tennis. Yet for Vaidisova, her prince charming had made it into her life and she had found true love for which she was willing to give up everything.
Vaidisova and Stepanek started seeing each other in 2007. They have had a very healthy relationship since then and have finally made their partnership official by stepping into the bond of marriage. Stepanek was previously dating the stunning tennis superstar, Martina Hingis. The both were also engaged, but they broke up in 2007 which marked the end of their relationship. Stepanek got lucky again when he met the beautiful Vaidisova, who is eleven years younger to him. No doubt he has a way with the ladies as he has managed to date one hot babe after another.
There have been many questions as to whether Vaidisova has done the right thing by being with Stapanek. Or whether she has made a wise decision to retire from her professional tennis career, as the young star still has a chance to make a bright future for herself in this profession. Nevertheless the young tennis diva has made up her mind to sacrifice her career for the love of her life, Stepanek.
The couple has been through a lot but have still stayed together. They just recently got married in the 17th of July 2010. The grand marriage ceremony took place in a castle in Prague. The guests included the hockey star Jaromir Jagr and WTA pro Barbora Zahlavova Strycova. Stepanek may not be doing so well in his career as a tennis player, as he has been having knee problems, but his personal life sure is flourishing.
This marriage has confirmed Vaidisova’s retirement and it marks the end of her tennis career for sure, as she has entirely succumbed herself to Stepanek by getting married to him. She will indeed be a very devoted and loving wife. Stepanek is one lucky guy.
Leaving Martina Hingis was probably the best decision Stapanek has ever made during his lifetime. It has yielded him into good fortune in the form of Nicole Vaidisova, who is not only drop dead gorgeous but is also much younger to him. Now that is what we call a score.
