2) Petra Kvitova

In a very recent development, two time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has met with deep injuries following an altercation with a burglar at her apartment in Prostejov. The burglar posing as an utility man retaliated soon after he recognised the tennis star’s identity. Kvitova suffered deep lacerations on four fingers of her left hand.

Following the incident, Petra Kvitova mentioned that she was ‘fortunate to be alive’. Even though Petra’s manager suggests her being sidelined for six months, Petra is bound to have been deeply affected by this incident. It remains to be seen how soon the Czech can bounce back from this gruesome accident.
