Tennis player Barbora Strýcová granted honorary citizenship of her hometown Plzeň

The West Bohemian town of Plzeň has granted its famous native tennis great Barbora Strýcová honorary citizenship. The thirty-seven-year-old former world number one in doubles is thus the youngest honorary citizen of the city and the first sportswoman to receive this distinction.

Strýcová has won two doubles titles at Wimbledon, bronze at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics alongside Lucie Šafářová, and has two singles titles and 32 doubles titles on the WTA circuit under her belt. She has triumphed six times in the Fed Cup team competition.
