QUOTES BY Petra Kvitova


I still like sweets and sometimes treat myself but not often. I try to keep an eye on it, but it's not like I'm desperate to go and eat a whole chocolate cake! I do like a bit of vanilla ice cream, though.

I'm not the sort of person who would want to just lie on the sofa watching TV.

Of course it's one of my goals to win another grand slam. Wimbledon was great - so if it's Wimbledon again, that's fine - but I think I have the game to win the other grand slams as well.

I love to play finals. I love to play on the big stadium.

Living out of a bag, in hotels, packing, unpacking, travelling, the hours of flying, sometimes the credit card doesn't work at the hotel, or the room isn't ready - I'm lucky to have a team around to help me.

Everybody really can beat everyone from the top, so it's really difficult to stay on the top.

When I was younger, I used to think ahead too much, and that would make me lose concentration in the match I was playing.

I have six racquets and usually two pairs of tennis shoes with me. Most of the time, the shoes can last two or three weeks if I'm playing all the week. I'm not the kind of player who slides a lot, so I just need one extra pair in my bag.

In Madrid, the conditions are always better for me. It suits my game: fast clay, high altitude, the balls fly really well.
