Origin
and identity
Petra Kvitová's left-handed serve and fearless first-strike tennis made her a natural force on Wimbledon grass.
Kvitová's 2011 season brought both Wimbledon and the WTA Finals, establishing her ability to deliver against the best. A second Wimbledon crown in 2014 confirmed her particular command of the surface.
Her return after a severe hand injury sustained in a 2016 attack added a different kind of achievement. She won again in Birmingham in 2017 and reached the 2019 Australian Open final, alongside lasting team success for her country.
