Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is famous for her booming power and ball-striking capabilities.
She’s less celebrated for her movement about the court – it’s never been her primary strength.
But in the Wimbledon women’s final of 2014, the Czech produced an incredible display of retrieving to stun Eugenie Bouchard at net with a jaw-dropping passing shot.
So good was the rally that Wimbledon tweeted it out as part of its Christmas #AdventCalendar countdown, celebrating the best rallies of The Championships.
And Kvitova gladly recalled it, sharing it with her 366,000 followers.

I remember that rally like yesterday! ???? https://t.co/OIF0Nm1z8Y
