Kvitova Hires Li Na’s Former Trainer

Wimbledon Champion, Petra Kvitova confirmed that trainer Alex Stober will be joining her team for the 2015 season.

Stober is one of the most experienced trainers on tour and previously worked with Chinese ace, Li Na.

Prior to working with Li, Stober spent 10 years with the ATP Tour, and also worked with Pete Sampras, Tommy Haas, Gustavo Kuerten, Rainer Schüttler and Andre Agassi.
