\"petraProstejov: Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova <\/a>survived a knife attack at her home on Tuesday and later said she is “fortunate to be alive”.<\/p>\n

The World No. 11 injured her left hand, her playing hand, in the attack, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has received treatment following her injury.<\/p>\n

“I am shaken. The injury is severe and I will need to see specialists,” said Kvitova, as per the BBC.<\/p>\n

Her publicist Karel Tejkal described the incident as a burglary attempt.<\/p>\n

“It was a random crime, nobody was going to attack or rob her as Petra Kvitova,” Tejkal said.<\/p>\n

Kvitova has won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014. She later said in a statement: “Thank you for all your heartwarming messages. As you may have already heard, today I was attacked in my apartment by an individual with a knife. In my attempt to defend myself, I was badly injured on my left hand.<\/p>\n

“I am shaken, but fortunate to be alive. The injury is severe and I will need to see specialists, but if you know anything about me I am strong and I will fight this. Thank you all again for your love and support and now I would appreciate some privacy while I focus on my recovery.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
