Kvitova's hometown erupts
Fulnek, Czech Republic – The eastern Czech town of Fulnek came to a
standstill for two hours on Saturday, then erupted with joy as local tennis
star Petra Kvitova won the Wimbledon women's title.
“We're so proud of her,” Jana Mocova, the mayor of the town, about 300
kilometres east of Prague, told AFP after the 21-year-old Kvitova breezed
past Russia's Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 in the final.
“The atmosphere is fantastic. We're celebrating because it's fantastic,
fantastic, fantastic,” Mocova, overcome by joy, said in a telephone
interview.
Then she paused and added: “The former mayor here says we're not
celebrating, we're getting drunk.”
More than 200 people watched the final on a large screen at the community
centre in Fulnek, a town with population of just under 6,000, where Kvitova's
father is deputy mayor.
They clapped hands and chanted “Petra! Petra!”, then raised glasses of beer
for a toast as Kvitova raised the trophy.
Pubs all over the town were crowded and the streets were empty throughout the
match, the public Czech Radio said, adding strawberries with cream were being
served in the town all day to evoke the atmosphere at Wimbledon.
“When Petra's dad was leaving for Wimbledon, I asked him to negotiate the
nearest date possible so we could invite everyone to the town square and
greet Petra,” Mocova said, adding the town hall would discuss an honorary
citizenship for the champion. – Sapa-AFP
