Until the age of 20, Ivan Lendl lived with his parents in an apartment on the 3rd floor of an apartment building at 18 Bachmačská Street in Ostrava. The original colour of the building was a rather bleak grey, which has given way to a fresher colour after the renovation a few years ago. A tree that Lendl planted himself as a young boy can be seen in the inner courtyard. Back then, Ivan Lendl could easily walk from his home to his tennis club ‘NHKG Ostrava’ at 4 Budečská Street in a few minutes. The club has changed significantly since the modernization and renaming to ‘Sport Centrum Ostrava’. However, three of the original tennis courts and an original grandstand have been preserved.
