TENNIS : PETRA KVITOVA DEFEATS GARBINE MUGURUZA AT US OPEN ; ADVANCES TO FIRST GRAND SLAM QUARTER FINALS SINCE STABBING ATTACK !
Just 9 months ago, this brave woman was fighting for her life - - robbed, viciously attacked with a knife inside her home.
Now, she is in the Quarter Finals of the US Open!
'Lucky to be alive', said Petra Kvitova following her horrifying ordeal in the hands of a robber who attacked and slashed her with a knife in a botched home invasion robbery in her native Czech Republic in December.
Many thought her career was over, her left hand - - her playing hand - - seriously injured, with four fingers deeply wounded.
