Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is named the WTA Player of the Year for 2011.

The Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova has been named as the WTA's Player of the Year for 2011.

The 21-year-old, who won Wimbledon this year, rose from number 34 in the world to number two.

She also won the season-ending WTA Championships in Istanbul last month, beating Victoria Azarenka in the final.

After that victory, Kvitova described the past 12 months as a "dream" year.
