Tennis star Petra Kvitová (31) is no longer alone. In an interview with the daily Blesk, she confirmed that she has been dating her tennis coach Jiří Vaňek (43), who used to be a professional tennis player, for several months. How did the two actually get together and when did the famous spark jump out?

This information was confirmed in an interview for Blesk by the tennis player herself: „Vlast year, when he was divorcing and reconstructing the apartment, I helped him, but nothing more. Until this year … “
