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]
He reached quarter-finals in both Guaruja, Rio de Janeiro and San Marino in 1990.[3]
