Wimbledon champion, Wimbledon baby: Petra Kvitova gives birth to son Petr

Wimbledon holds a profound significance in Petra Kvitova’s life, and her connection to the prestigious tournament has deepened even more. Having triumphed twice on its grass courts and gotten engaged to Jiri Vanek there, Kvitova now cherishes another milestone—her first child was born during this year’s Wimbledon. As the tournament unfolded, Kvitova welcomed her son, Petr, into the world on July 7th.

Lucie Safarova, Sorana Cirstea, Carla Suarez Navarro, Belinda Bencic, Kiki Bertens, Barbora Strycova, and Daniela Hantuchova were among the first WTA players to extend their congratulations to the new mother.
