Kvitova Attacker Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison - Eva Angyalossy By: Francis Joseph The man who attacked two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova with a knife at her Czech home in December 2016 was sentenced to eight years in prison on Tuesday, a court said. "He got eight years in a tight-security prison," Eva Angyalossy, a spokesperson for the regional court in the southern Czech city of Brno, said. The 33-year-old Radim Zondra, who is currently in prison for another crime, was sentenced on charges of serious battery and an illegal entry into Kvitova's flat. Angyalossy said that Zondra and the prosecutor had two weeks to appeal the verdict. Zondra pleaded not guilty. The 29-year-old world number two Kvitova suffered career-threatening injuries to her playing left hand as she fought off the intruder at her home in the eastern Czech town of Prostejov.
