Career

Vojtíšek was a semi-finalist at Athens in 1987 and also reached the quarter-finals in Bastad that season. [3] His best win of the year came when he beat world number 10 Tim Mayotte in Forest Hills. [3] [4]

In the 1987 French Open, his first Grand Slam appearance, Vojtíšek couldn't capitalise on a two set lead over Luiz Mattar in the opening round, losing in five. [3] He played in two further French Opens, one Australian Open and one Wimbledon, but would fail to win a single set in each. [3]

Vojtíšek did well in Athens again in 1988, making the quarter-finals. [3]

In 1989 he had wins over both Thomas Muster and Sergi Bruguera, en route to the semi-finals of the Palermo Grand Prix tournament. [3]
