Kvitova is accustomed to being in the spotlight. She has been featured in photo shoots before, including Czech brand, Alo Diamonds.

It’s been a big few weeks for Kvitova. She reached the semifinals in Cincinnati, knocking off Serena Williams along the way in a tight three-set match. After falling to eventual champion Kiki Bertens on Saturday, the 28-year-old is the No. 3 seed this week in New Haven.
