Who was Petra Kvitova engaged to?

In December 2015 Petra happily announced her engagement to Czech hockey player Radek Meidl.

But they broke up just a few months later.

Just before the split she explained: "He’s an ice hockey player, and he understands my job and I understand his. But it’s still very different.

"He’s playing in the winter in the Czech Republic, and I’m playing in the summer which is weird.";
