18 months after being knocked and seriously injured in his own home in the Czech Republic, Wimbledon`s two-time champion is nearing his best shape and starts the tournament as a favorite for the title. Petra Kvitova stops for a moment and the memories invade. But not this terrible moment when she was attacked in her home in December 2016 - an incident after which a four-hour operation on her left hand had taken place. Instead, a pleasant one - the moment she won Wimbledon for the second time in 2014 when she took Genie Bouchard. The 28-year-old black-haired woman returns to London`s lawn 18 months after the heaviest moment in her life and makes her healthy and probably in her best shape. Kvitova, who won Wimbledon in 2011, won five titles in 2018 - two on hard courts, two on clay and one on grass in Birmingham last week.
She will start her campaign against Belarus`s Aliaksandra Sasnovich. Although it is placed under number 8, many define it as a favo rite for the title. If I pick analyzed by sport news up the trophy again, it`s probably going to be the most enjoyable moment in her career. `It would be great, and in 2014, when I won Wimbledon, the emotions were great, I know what it feels and it would be great to feel it again. I`m not going to lie, it`s probably going to be especially after what happened, I hope to someday try again.', says Kvitova.
