Petra Kvitova on 2015: Titles, exhaustion, illness & engagement

[jersey-xy]

Vontae Davis Authentic Jersey A strange year of highs and lows has ended on a wonderful note after my boyfriend Radek took me by surprise and asked me to marry him, so Christmas will be even more special this year.

It's a lovely end to 12 months that have seen me go from winning titles to struggling for motivation, suffering with glandular fever and then finding my form again.

In the last few weeks I've been able to enjoy some time at home with my boyfriend and see my brothers and their kids, and I even managed to get all my Christmas shopping done early, which makes me very happy.

I like shopping, but when I see so many people in the malls it's not so appealing!

The last time I hit a ball in competition was at the Fed Cup final five weeks ago, but after resuming fitness training earlier this month I was back on the practice court in my home town of Prostejov on 16 December.

'Squash, badminton, swimming, paddle tennis...'
I had three weeks off after the Fed Cup final and took my parents to Dubai for a few days. It was their first visit and really fun, although it flew past so quickly, but I'm glad they saw somewhere new and we were able to enjoy it together.

It was then time for me to start preparing for 2016 and I headed to Lanzarote for the first time with my fitness trainer, David Vydra.

We didn't do a lot of running but instead tried pretty much everything else over the course of a week. In the morning we would go biking and then in the afternoon we did other sports like squash, badminton, swimming, paddle tennis, volleyball...

Playing other racquet sports is a very different experience and I must admit I didn't like squash that much - I played for the first time and it was difficult for me. I prefer badminton.

He's very famous in the Czech Republic and a very good guy. Javelin and tennis are about the only sports I didn't try in Lanzarote.

I did play an exhibition in Bratislava after the Fed Cup final but I stepped back onto court properly last week in Prostejov and just about managed to put the ball in the court!
