Biography
[edit]As a junior, Kudrnáč competed in the boys singles and doubles events at the 1992 French Open.
He was a leading collegiate player during his time at Oklahoma State.[1] In 1998 he topped the ITA rankings and was honoured with the Senior Player of the Year award.[2]
Kudrnáč, who comes from Plzeň, represented the Czech Republic in multiple editions of the Summer Universiade, most notably at the 1999 event, where he was a gold medalist in the men's doubles.[3]
On the professional tour he was a doubles specialist and regularly partnered fellow Czech Petr Kovačka. With the exception of his first tournament, the 1995 Prague Open with Petr Luxa, he played beside Kovačka in all of his ATP Tour appearances, which included making the semi-finals at San Marino in 2000.[4] They competed in the 2000 US Open, beaten in the first round by Argentina's Gastón Etlis and Sebastián Prieto.[5] At Challenger level, the pair won a total of three doubles titles.
