Hall of Fame

Petra Kvitová
The story of the “Czech lioness”

Knurr Palace, Fulnek

WHAT YOU WILL SEE

 

Petra Kvitová was born in Fulnek in 1990. From her very first steps, it was obvious that tennis would be a part of her life. However, no one knew just how big and famous her story would be - not even her mother or father, who helped start it all off.

As a guest of the Petra Kvitová Hall of Fame, you will experience a taste of what it was like to travel from the courts of a picturesque Moravian town to the most famous courts in the world and win iconic tournaments. Did she go to a normal school like other children? What were her grades like? How did she balance her training with her other obligations? What about her mother, father, and her brothers? Can I make my dreams come true too?

Come to the Knurr Palace, where you can hear this story of a great tennis personality and be inspired. An exhibition of Petra Kvitová’s personal possessions and a unique collection of trophies from all the world’s most famous tournaments awaits you. Within your reach, you’ll find the Wimbledon “plate”, trophies from Dubai, the Australian Open, and many more.

Book a tour and experience the joy, challenges, and tears that accompany beautiful dreams coming true.
