Congratulations are in order to one of the nicest woman players on the WTA Tour!

Petra Kvitova has announced on twitter she is engaged to her boyfriend Jiri Vanek ( who is also her coach)

Apparently Jiri asked her to marry him at Wimbledon, as she said this was her favorite place on the twitter:)
Kvitty changes men like crazy, you never know she might go back to Stepanek

Wasn't she married to the "Worm" previously or am I getting that mixed up with another WTA player

I will post this here seeing it happens to be a match in qualifying at the USO,

American player Christina McHale has retired from professional tennis, following a women's qualifying match at the USO.
Best wishes in your retirement Christina a popular player especially amongst her fellow American players!

A popular player but never really had it between the ears and never really reached grand heights. I think her claim to fame may be a Wimby QF that she lost to Serena.

What the feck is wrong with tennis players? Is the game losing its romance for the younger generation? She ought to be made to sit and watch a tennis history video. :facepalm:

Stoopah Naomi-me-me! (pronouns Dip/Shit) said something similar before the tournament, that it was more like an exo without the ranking points. :facepalm:

Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina 'doesn't feel like the champion'

She played lights out tennis during that match.I was surprised to hear that her sister married that angry one Ryan Harrison.

Some sad news I read from Christopher Clarey I read today,

Andrea Petkovic, remember her famous dance? 'The Petko Dance :) is retiring after the USO.
Andrea has come back from major injuries in her career, reached a career high of No 9
Andrea said there was a smaller tournament in Europe she could play, which is closer for her famliy and friends after the USO , though this will be her last major tournament.
