Get All Petra's New Nike & Wilson Tennis Gear Here!
Petra Kvitova could be the next dominant player in women's tennis. She's certainly got all the weapons needed to dispatch the opposition, and the steady head to administer her deadly array most effectively. At the start of the year, the only question unanswered was consistency - could she direct her firepower reliably for the 5 - 7 matches needed to haul in the silverware. Wimbledon and Istanbul have answered that!
When her aim is true, not even the best can live with her as Victoria Azarenka and Caroline Wozniacki found out at Wimbledon in 2010, Kim Clijsters found out in Paris 2011 and Maria Sharapova found out in the Wimbledon final. Her forehand is as devastating as Juan Martin Del Potro's before the injury.
Petra Kvitova Shows Off The First
Of Many Grand Slam Titles Thanks To Globovisión @ Flickr
Petra's Czech compatriot and fellow left-hander, Lucie Safarova, has a similar game and is equally aggressive, but maybe they could both learn from Petra's heroine, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, another left-handed Czech woman, who was able to channel her powerful tennis game for optimal results. Her 51 Grand Slam tiltles in singles, doubles and mixed doubles are testament to this.
Petra was born on March 8th 1990 so she now reaching the age when her physique is approaching maturity, and at 6 feet, (1.83 meters) and 154lbs (70 kgs), she has the ideal frame to pile on even more muscle to be even more intimidating than she already is. Her speed around the court is perhaps one area ripe for improvement, as her likely competitors for any title, like Caroline Wozniacki and Vera Zvonareva, are a little more nimble around the court at the moment. I bet both women would dearly love a tennis weapon like Petra's forehand though!
Petra Kvitova's Tennis Gear Choices - Two Big Tennis Brands - Nike And Wilson
Petra's preferred tennis dress is made by Nike, though she currently chooses separates in the style favored by Serena Williams - the Rally Knit Tank and Rally Knit Tennis Skirt.
Last year her Nike combination caused a bit of a stir in Australia, as the tennis top was revealing a little more of full-figured Petra than family viewing would allow. Diplomatically, the Channel 7 Australian crew adjusted their TV camera angles rather than suggest that Petra cover up more. Not so much a wardrobe malfunction as a wardrobe malalignment!
It's not strictly necessary to match your tennis shoes to your tennis clothing, though most players do. Nike make some of the best tennis shoes so Petra has opted for the Nike Zoom Breathe 2K11 women's tennis shoes, with the lightweight support and performance demanded by professional tennis players.
Many of the big name tennis stars like to wear the tennis apparel of the players they most admired when they were growing up. This explains Novak Djokovic's move to Sergio Tacchini to sport the same make as Johm McEnroe - one of his heros. In the men's game, like many others, Roger Federer is Petra's favorite, and like Petra, Roger wears Nike tennis clothing and wields a Wilson tennis racquet.
The Wilson Steam 100 BLX Tennis Racquet could have been designed for Petra's personal use, in that it suits powerful aggressive play, but is versatile enough to encourage deft control and spin too. Though it's been crafted for top player needs, it's scope covers all levels of ability
Petra's carries this Supersix Wilson tennis Bag endorsed by Roger Federer, naturally. After all, if playing tennis is your living, you need a bag that can carry mutiple racquets and every tennis essential and comfort necessity you can think of.
This stylish bag has all Wilson's patented technology to make a player's life as easy as possible, including 'ThermoGuard' and MoistureGuard,' which as their names suggest, protect your racquets and other delicates from heat and moisture.
'Earthguard', another component of Wilson tennis bags, shows Wilson's concern for the environment, in that partially recyled materials are used, making for a lighter bag. There are also no PVC plastic constituents. PVC has recently come under scrutiny for it's possible leaching of harmful chemicals and for the troubles associated with it's safe disposal.
With Petra Kvitova, The Future Of Czech Women's Tennis Looks Bright
It's amazing just how many world class tennis players are emanating from tiny countries in Europe at the moment. Just think of Serbia, Croatia and Belgium to name a few. The Czech and Slovak Rebublics (formerly Czechoslovakia) have their own crop of talent, as shown in their recent Fed Cup clash. Hard hitting left-handers, Petra, with Lucie Safarova paved the way for victory over their classy Slovak counterparts, Dominika Cibulkova and Daniela Hantuchova.
Petra practices at the same tennis club as LucieSafarova, and her big-hitting ex-boyfriend, Tomas Berdych. With Petra now approaching the number 1 ranking herself, this club is obviously doing something very right!
Petra Gets Fired Up In The 2011 Fed Cup Final
One theme is common in all her matches: her serenity and unflappability. Match point down or match point up, her focus and fighting spirit never wavers. This might stem from her almost having tennis blood - her father plays as do her two brothers. Yet despite Petra's intense dedication to her sport, she's sociable, easy-going and friendly.
Petra has maintained her recent progress, and the WTA newcomer of the year 2010 has become the WTA most improved player of the year, 2011, and the WTA player of the year 2011! It's quite unusual for a player to get both awards in the same year and this shows what an outstanding achievement this has been for Petra.
