I've only recently become hooked on Instagram (make sure to follow Women's Tennis Blog there) and browsing through dozens of player profiles I came across this wonderful childhood photo of world No.26 Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, a perfect addition to my Little Tennis Stars series.
The photo is from the first day of school. Aaaaw, so cute! Look at that stylish vintage outfit and the neat hairdo.
Schmiedlova started playing tennis at the age of seven, but she didn't like it immediately, her love for the sport grew gradually.
