Petr Pála

Petr Pála (born 2 October 1975) is a former professional male tennis player from the Czech Republic. Together with Pavel Vízner he reached the men's doubles final of the 2001 French Open but lost to Indians Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes (6–7, 3–6). Pála was coached by his father Frantisek, who was a professional tennis player on the ATP tour.

Pála never had the opportunity to do his singles ability justice on the ATP Tour due to injury. When he recovered from these injuries he returned immediately to the doubles tour, but could not gain entry to official ATP matches.

Pála became the non-playing captain of the Czech Republic Fed Cup team in December 2007. Since then, he has led the Fed Cup team to world titles in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015.

    Yeah Yeah!
    Yeah Yeah!
    I wish there was a video game
    to teach you your ancestors name
    I wish there was a phone number
    like 1-800-Save-Your-Brother
    I'm thankful for the radio station
    Not afraid to put the truth in rotation
    there are skirts of information
    That you can only get in conversation with...
    Young People, who talk to
    Old People, it would make us
    Better People, all around...
    (Yes it would)
    And if Old People would talk to
    Young People, it would make us
    Better People, all around....
    (Yes it would)
    We went from radio to TV
    Now we're going from LP to CD
    Don't be afraid
    To try something new
    I can help you with the brand new technology
    Help me with the age old philosophy
    Together there's so much we can do with:
    Young People, who talk to
    Old People, it would make us
    Better People, all around...
    And if Old People would talk to
    Young People, it would make us
    Better People, all around....
    They say that every
    Generation gets worse
    Whether if your generous or no purse
    These problems tend to strive off the sky (yeah)
    Listen to Mahatma Ghandi's words
    Be the change you want to see in the world
    Start with yourself and healing will multiply
    AAAAAAH, that's what happens When..
    Young People, who talk to
    Old People, it would make us
    Better People, all around...
    If Old People would talk to
    Young People, it would.....
    Better People, all around....
    If black people
    Would talk to white people
    It would make us
    Better People
    All Around....
    If Republican people would
    Talk to Democratic people
    It would make us diplomatic people
