Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, known for her powerful left-handed groundstrokes, has been injured on Tuesday in a knife attack at her left hand.
The attack has happened at her home in the eastern Czech town of Prostejov. She has been treated after the incident.
Her publicist Karel Tejkal claim it was a burglary. “It was a random crime, nobody was going to attack or rob her as Petra Kvitova, ” Tejkal said.
