90 m. ago Petra Kvitova: ‘I’m totally ready to retire. I don’t regret anything’

As she prepares for final tournament, two-time Wimbledon champion is grateful for her ‘second career’ after 2016 knife attackIt would be tempting for Petra Kvitova to dwell on what might have been as she prepares for what will be her last tournament before she retires from tennis. For all her many achievements – she won two Wimbledon titles, 31 tournaments worldwide and reached world No 2 – there has long been a feeling that she could, maybe should, have won even more.

Mohanad was a medical student in Sudan, but he had to leave in secret, hiding in a vegetable truck, until he reached Libya, where he was kidnapped repeatedly. That was only the start of his perilous journeyFor three days, Mohanad had been lost at sea in an overcrowded wooden boat. Travelling across the Mediterranean from Libya to Europe, he and the other passengers had run out of food and water, were running out of fuel, and had mixed their remaining sugar with sea water to see if they could drink it. “It was madness,” he says.Weak and exhausted, passengers began drifting in and out of consciousness. Mohanad kept waking up an Ethiopian man – who was nearer the edge of the boat – worried he might fall in. At night, there were large waves, and Mohanad slept for a while himself, but was woken by a loud splash. People began screaming the Ethiopian man’s name. He had slipped over the side into the water.
