Petra Kvitova Ushers In A New Era in Wimbledon History
If I'm not mistaken, she's the youngest Grand Slam winner for sometime now. It has always been one of the Williams sisters, then Kim Clijsters who have been dominating the Grand Slams for years, and even the recent "new" winners like Francesca Schiavone and Li Na are not exactly spring chickens.
So I can boldly say that a new era of Wimbledon has dawned this year as they crowned Petra Kvitova, their Grand Slam Champion. Frankly, I am as surprised as everyone else as to the swiftness of her ascent! In 2009, I did not even know who she was! But in 2010, she got to the semi's, to be beaten by Serena, and this year, she has the grand prize! Whew! And she's only 21! More Wimbledon titles may still come her way!
