WTA star Petra Kvitova marries boyfriend and coach Jiri Vanek in Prague


Petra Kvitova has married her coach and long-time boyfriend Jiri Vanek at a private ceremony in Prague, Czech Republic.

Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion, recently took to social media to announce the wedding. She shared a lovely picture of herself in a white wedding dress and Vanek in a blue suit.

The ceremony was also reported to have been graced by some of the couple’s closest acquaintances. This includes Kvitova’s colleague and friend Barbora Strycova, who recently won the Wimbledon women’s doubles crown.

Kvitova and Vanek kept the wedding a low-key affair, with the media only being alerted after the ceremony was completed.

Interestingly, Kvitova had in her recent interviews hinted at an impending wedding with Vanek. However, she would always not put a date on it.

Following the close of last season, the Bilovec native had stated that the wedding would likely take place in 2023.

“I said yes and there should be [a wedding next year]. But when and where I will not tell you,” Kvitova had said at the time.

Jiri Vanek popped the question to Petra Kvitova at last year’s Wimbledon Championships. The Czech had just been honored at the All England Club as part of the Centre Court’s anniversary celebrations.

Kvitova and Vanek had first joined hands after the player separated from her long-time coach David Kotyza in 2016.
