Czech tennis player Petra Kvitova said that she still does not feel two fingers on her hand after an attack by an attacker with a knife. At the first tournament after the attack, the French Open, Kvitova received the 15th seeding number and completed performances in the second round, losing to the American Bethany Mattek-Sands. Sensations are strange. I still do not feel the two fingers that were damaged, but I accept this reality. I have a trauma, and I play with what is. Sometimes good cards fall out, and sometimes - not so. You just need to play with what's there, "Kvitova said in an interview with CNN. On the morning of December 20 in the Czech city of Prostejev, an unknown man with a knife attacked Kvitov in her own house.
As a result of the attack, the Czech received injuries to the tendons of the left arm, injuries to all five fingers and two nerves. The athlete was taken to the hospital, where the doctors performed the operation. The doctor who operated her said that the athlete will miss about six months. Even before the start of the tournament in Paris, Kvitova said that she had not fully restored her hand, but she was happy to play at Roland Garros.
