I am shaken, but fortunate to be alive, Kvitova wrote on Twitter. The injury is severe and I will need to see specialists, but if you know anything about me I am strong and I will fight this.In an earlier statement on the Facebook page of the Czech Republics Fed Cup team, Kvitova said: What happened to me was certainly not pleasant, but its behind me. I have the best possible care and Im in touch with my loved ones. The worst is behind me.It was not immediately clear how the injury could affect Kvitovas play. She underwent surgery because of her condition and future career, said Tejkal, who described the incident as a burglary.

He said police have launched a manhunt.Kvitova was scheduled to participate in a charity event in the city of Brno on Tuesday with another Czech player, Lucie Safarova.Its horrible, Safarova told Czech public radio.
