Re: Petra Kvitova Was Attacked In Her Flat & Is Injured
According to the article Petra isn't seriously injured, but hopefully she will be also mentally OK. Last year my grandmother was robbed being in the flat in the same time. Fortunately robber didn't injure her, but she still hasn't fully recovered from this.
Re: Petra Kvitova Was Attacked In Her Flat & Is Injured
omg...
I mean, I just realized she has withdrawn from Hopman Cup and then this news appears
I've read that she was attacked with a knife? This is horrible I'm glad she isn't heavily injured but I really hope she would be fine, physically and mentally.

That is awful news. Best wishes go out to Petra.
I hope she is not traumatised by this experience and her hand injury isn't serious.
The experience of a home intrusion certainly left Anna Chakvetadze a changed person. It's horrible to hear of something similar happening to another player.
Does the article say the intruder was posing as an electricity meter reader? I can't quite understand the translation.
Chances are the robber knew Kvitova lived there alone and assumed she had €€€ or other valuables easy to carry such as jewelry lying around. What he probably didn't expect was for her to fight back. But he may also have picked a home to raid more or less at random if the neighbourhood was visibly upscale - which doesn't seem to be the case.
I suppose we become used to this sort of speculation on motivations due to constant terrorist attacks.
Re: Petra Kvitova Attacked By Knife Wielding Thieves Rushed 2 Hospital With Hand Inju
sheesh.
That's horrible and shocking news. I hope she can recover swiftly both physically and psychologically. How degenerate our world is becoming daily! I fear it means she may need to miss the AO...
Re: Petra Kvitova Attacked By Knife Wielding Thieves Rushed 2 Hospital With Hand Inju
The fact that the wounds were inflicted to Petra's left hand/arm sort of bugs me. I mean, Petra is fully left-handed and if she was trying to fight off the attacker she'd go in with her strongest arm first, but it's like the attacker knew where to slash her to cause the heaviest damage he could to a left-handed pro tennis player.
So regardless of what the news stories are saying, I don't think it's mere paranoia not to discard the deliberate attack targeting Petra option just yet.
