Petra Kvitová reacts after her attacker gets eight-year prison term

Petra Kvitová has spoken of her relief after the man who stabbed her was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Czech regional court.

The two-time Wimbledon champion sustained severe wounds to her left playing hand as she struggled with the intruder in her flat during the attack in December 2016.

Speaking after being beaten by Ashleigh Barty in the Miami Open quarter-finals, Kvitová said: 'I'm glad it's over'.
