Petra Kvitova announced on social media that she has married her long-time partner and coach Jiri Vanek.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova has marked a major event in her personal life with her marriage to Vanek.
On the court, Kvitova has had a fairly successful season on the WTA Tour, winning her biggest title in five years at the Miami Open, where she defeated 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in straight sets.
Despite having a difficult clay season, where she failed to record any wins on the surface, the Czech went on to have a better time on grass, winning her 31st career title at the German Open.

Wedding comes a year after engagement
Kvitova, currently No. 8 in the world rankings, has been coached by Vanek since 2016. They didn't become a couple until the early summer of 2021. In July 2022, they announced their engagement on social media, with Kvitova posting a picture of the pair, alongside the caption:
"Happy news we wanted to share with you guys... I said "yes" in my special place"
A year later, the couple were able to share photos of their wedding day. In a tweet, Kvitova wrote 'Mr and Mrs' above a picture of the two holding hands and gazing lovingly at each other.
The pair tied the knot at the Statek Oblik in the Bohemian Highlands, and guests included other well-known tennis players such as their compatriot Barbora Strycova.
Kvitova has been engaged once before, to Czech hockey player Radek Meidl. They had announced their engagement to Czech media in December 2015, but the couple split up in May 2016.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
