Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has announced the arrival of a new member to her family – a baby boy! The 34-year-old Czech tennis star shared the news on Facebook on Monday, posting a picture of her hand holding her son’s tiny hand with the caption “Petr, 7.7.2024”.
This happy news comes almost exactly ten years after Kvitova secured her second Wimbledon title in 2014. The tennis champion had announced her pregnancy back in January, putting her career on hold to focus on motherhood.
Kvitova’s journey to motherhood comes after her marriage to coach Jiri Vanek in July 2023. The couple has now welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Petr. While Kvitova’s tennis career is currently paused, the world awaits her return to the court with anticipation.
Kvitova’s career boasts a remarkable 31 WTA singles titles, including two coveted Wimbledon championships. The current Wimbledon tournament, the third Grand Slam of the year, is now into its second week. As the world celebrates with Kvitova, fans eagerly await her return to the tennis world.
