Petra Kvitova registered a winning percentage of 69 in the recently finished season which was the lowest for her in the last 5 years, but, you can’t quite say that she had a disastrous season or even a poor season for that matter.
But, at the same time, you can’t even say that she did well.
She is such a unique sort of a player, Kvitova. She always does enough for you to stop yourself from saying that she’s in poor form, but, you always feel that she is not doing justice to her potential.
She is such a highly skilled player that there’s no way she should have been outside top 5 at this stage of her career.
She produces pieces of brilliance at times, but, only at times.
She even did so this year. There were tournaments in which she put on outstanding displays and then, there were ones in which she was less than ordinary leading to an up and down season again, something which is not new to her.
It must have been immensely frustrating for her supporters, but, they should now almost be getting used to her inconsistency because it’s always been like this with her.
It’s such a shame for a player of Kvitova’s calibre. She has the potential to absolutely smash her opponent with the kind of power and ability she has, but, somehow, from time to time, she finds a way to fail. Read more »
After not featuring in Indian Wells at the start of this month, Petra Kvitova has now decided to stay away from Miami as well.
While taking her name out of the Indian Wells, Kvitova had stated that she just wanted a short break to be able to recharge her batteries as she had been feeling quite a bit weary past couple of weeks.
It seems her batteries have not got fully charged yet and that’s why, she has decided to extend her self-imposed break.
The ongoing season is just about 15 weeks long. At this stage, you don’t really expect the players to be withdrawing because of weariness.
So, some eyebrows would have been raised on Kvitova missing two back to back events.
In Kvitova’s case, it’s a little more surprising because she has only played a handful of matches this season. She has not gone that far in any of the tournaments which she has participated in and thus, she has had breaks between her outings already. So, for her to complaint about exhaustion, it’s slightly indigestible.
Maybe she wasn’t full fit coming into the season. She would probably have been carrying niggle somewhere. Read more »
