Petra Kvitova

What a great story, and what a strong woman she is.
For those that don't know her....she's a professional tennis player who was brutally slashed during a home invasion a few years ago. She is left handed and had that hand badly cut while defending herself against a knife attack.
So bad that she lost movement.
Now she's headed to the Aussie Open final.
I know who I'll be rooting for

Totally agree. She played well in the final but Osaka seemed like she has another gear.

Kvitova played great, but all credit is due to the winner.
Naomi Osaka could be the next superstar of the ladies game.
She is one cool customer who can flat out hit that ball.
