Petra Kvitova is Engaged!


Petra Kvitova shared joyous news—she's engaged.

The two-time Wimbledon champion announced her engagement to coach Jiri Vanek on social media.

"Happy news we wanted to share with you guys… I said “yes” in my special place," Kvitova posted on Instagram with a heart and a ring emoji.




Kvitova defeated Maria Sharapova to capture her maiden major at the 2011 Wimbledon. Three years later, Kvitova crushed Genie Bouchard to claim her second Wimbledon crown.

The 32-year-old Kvitova and Vanek, 44, shot their engagement photo on the balcony of the player lounge at Wimbledon overlooking the courts.

Former ATP pro Jiri Vanek has coached Kvitova since 2016.

Kvitova was previously engaged to Czech hockey player Radek Meidl. The couple began dating in 2014 before ending their engagement in 2016. Kvitova also briefly dated former ATP pro Radek Stepanek, who was once engaged to world No. 1 Martina Hingis.
