Kralert had a good year as a junior in 1996, when he won the Banana Bowl; was a doubles champion at the Orange Bowl, partnering countryman Robin Vik; and bagelled Roger Federer when he beat the future World No. 1 in the Sunshine Cup.[2] He reached as high as No. 19 in the junior world singles rankings (and No. 16 in doubles).

In 1999 he made an appearance for the Czech Republic Davis Cup team, in a World Group play-off tie against Uzbekistan. He defeated Oleg Ogorodov in the fourth rubber, to help the Czechs secure a clean sweep.[3]
