Foot Fault!

Today, Slovakian sport website Dennik Sport published an interview with Petra Kvitova’s fitness coach Jozef Ivanko. He spoke mostly about his work with Petra, but one of the interesting things was him discussing his relationship with none other than Mr Wozniacki.

After Wimbledon 2011 Piotr sent me a text message, because he knows my contract is ending at the end of the year. He got ready a fantastic project. It would be global Carolina Wozniacki Academy, He wants me to be part of it. Main donor would be Roman Abramovich and an Arab Sheikh. From every continent they would take talents from 14-18 years. The Academy would be situated 3 month in Europe, 3 months in Dubai and 3 months in China. The main goal is to make a champion for Rio de Janiero in 2016.

WAIT, so immediately after Petra wins her first slam (before Wozniacki), Piotr is sending texts to her fitness coach, attempting to bribe him away from Petra before she can renew his contract? Not that it isn’t to be completely expected of Piotr Wozniacki, but it’s so shady, so unethical – so Piotr.

It’s cute that the Ivanko actually seems to think that Piotr contacted him because of his pedigree and ability, but sadly there are most likely ulterior motives behind Piotr targeting, of all the successful fitness coaches in the world, the coach of who is probably now her biggest rival.

And don’t even get me started on the whole Roman Abramovic and “Arab sheikh” part of it. Not only is it probably complete BS, but clearly Karolina’s penchant for namedropping clearly runs in the family.
