Petra Kvitova was born in 1990 in Bilovec, Czechoslovakia. She had a solid junior career, reaching a high ranking of number 27 in the ITF junior rankings in 2007. She did not win any major tournaments as a junior though.
One interesting thing about Petra Kvitova junior career is that she does not come from a tennis crazy family and she did not attend a tennis academy where she could train 3 to 4 hours a day. Instead she practiced only 1 to 2 hours every day after school and slowly but surely improved her game over the years! As a professional she enjoyed early success, reaching the Top 50 in the world in 2008 at the young age of 18! Since then she has continuously improved.
