Hall of Fame to Petra Kvitová opens in her home town

On Thursday, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitová officially opened a Hall of Fame dedicated to her in the spaces of the Knurr Palace in Fulnek, Moravia-Silesia, the town where she grew up. Kvitová said that it was a great honour for her to have her own hall of fame, especially while she is still alive.

The hall features two spaces where Kvitová’s rackets, clothes, trophies and other apparel are displayed. The tennis player’s two Wimbledon trophies, which she won in 2011 and 2014, are present as well.

Petra Kvitová is one of the most successful female tennis players in Czech history. She won 29 singles tournaments on the WTA circuit, six times the Fed Cup (Billie Jean King Cup) with the Czech team and an Olympic bronze medal. In 2011, she won the Tournament of Champions and was world number two.
