More on Petra Kvitová Petra Kvitova, born on March 8, 1990, in Bilovec, Czech Republic, turned professional in 2006. She gained global attention in 2011 by winning her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, defeating Maria Sharapova in the final. This victory helped her reach a career-high ranking of No. 2. Kvitova has since won 29 singles titles, including two Wimbledon championships (2011 and 2014), and has been a consistent contender at major tournaments, with her strongest performances on grass courts. In December 2016, Kvitova was attacked at her home, resulting in serious injuries to her left hand. Despite this setback, she made a remarkable recovery and returned to top-level tennis, winning the 2018 Birmingham title and consistently reaching deep rounds in major tournaments. She claimed her first Miami Open title in 2019. Kvitova gave birth to her first child, a son named Petr, in July 2024, marking a new chapter in her life both on and off the court. She has also built strong brand collaborations with companies like Wilson and Asics, with her career prize money standing at over $38 million.
