Comments Off on Petra Kvitova The No 2 Loses First Match At Charleston
Petra Kvitova’s campaign at the Flushing Meadows might have ended only after 4 matches, but, the biggest positive for the Czech woman was the mere fact that she could feature in the competition.
Forget 2017, there was actually no guarantee that she could extend her career any further at all.

She somehow managed to survive the assault, but, couldn’t avoid the severe damage caused to her fingers by the knife that the attacker had.

In the aftermath of the attack, she immediately went in for an emergency surgery which helped in repairing the damage done to her nerves and tendons. Ever since then, she has been working her way slowly back into fitness.
As a major part of her rehabilitation process, the player took out time to train in the Canary Islands in a bid to recover in time so as to get back into the game.
