Kvitova falls for absurd Fed Cup interview prank

ByCody Fitzpatrick

Published Apr 21, 2018

In the latest example of why Petra Kvitova is known as one of  the nicest players on tour, the two-time Wimbledon champion stayed polite and delightful while being asked a series of ridiculous interview questions. Questions included: "Do you love to sing in the shower, or in the car?"  and her beer interests.

The catch: The questions were actually being fed to host Nick McCarvel as a prank by Kvitova's Fed Cup teammate Barbora Strycova.

"I loved it. I can do this every day," Strycova said after revealing herself as the joker.

Both teams have their top two singles players in town, with Karolina Pliskova joining Kvitova, and Julia Goerges and Angelique Kerber representing Germany. All four of them are in the top 12 in the Race to Singapore.
