The relationship of Czech tennis player Petra Kvitova was most talked about when she announced engagement with Radek Meidl. Their time together was, however, short-lived. Kvitova also had a few other relationships before Meidl. Here are a few details about her relationship history.
Who was Petra Kvitova engaged to?
In December 2015, Petra announced her engagement to Czech hockey player Radek Meidl. Meidl was born in the Czech Republic on November 25, 1988. He is currently playing in the National Ice Hockey League (NHL) for Leeds Chiefs. Meidl made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Oceláři Třinec during the 2015-16 Czech Extraliga season.

You might think that they had an easier relationship because of their common athletic background. However, that posed its own unique challenges.
One played in the winter and the other was busier in summer. This is what Petra Kvitova had to say when the duo decided to split only a few months after their engagement.
“He’s an ice hockey player, and he understands my job and I understand his. But it’s still very different. “He’s playing in the winter in the Czech Republic, and I’m playing in the summer which is weird,” she said.

Four years before Meidl, Kvitova had her first relationship. She fell in love with fellow Czech tennis player Adam Pavlasek. The relationship stood for two years and they broke up in 2013.
But very soon, she had found another partner in another Czech tennis player. This time it was Radek Stepanek, who is known to have dated a few tennis stars. The relationship, however, was shorter than her previous one, standing only one year.

Petra then started dating the Czech ice hockey player Radek Meidl. Their decision to live together in 2015 was short-lived, and they parted ways soon after.
