Satorova, who is six years younger than her husband, is a successful model who has worked with several international brands and designers. She has also appeared on the cover of various fashion magazines such as Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan and has a large following on social media.
The anniversary post was shared by Tomas Berdych on his Instagram account on Sunday.
Berdych, who retired from professional tennis in 2019, had an impressive career that spanned 17 years. He reached the semifinals of all four Grand Slams, with his best result being the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2010.
Tomas Berdych also won the Paris Masters in 2005 and was part of the Czech Republic team that won the Davis Cup in 2012 and 2013. He is one of the few players to have defeated all the Big Four (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray) in Grand Slams.
Tomas Berdych, one of the most successful Czech tennis players of all time, announced his retirement from professional tennis at the age of 34.
Berdych turned pro in 2002, and made his first breakthrough in 2004, when he won his first ATP title in Palermo. He also reached the fourth round of the US Open that year. In 2005, Berdych won his first Masters title in Paris, beating Ivan Ljubicic in a five-set thriller. He ended the year ranked No. 24 in the world.
Berdych also reached his first and only Grand Slam final at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, where he upset Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic en route to the title match. However, he was unable to overcome Rafael Nadal, who beat him in straight sets.
Berdych remained a consistent contender at the highest level for the next few years, winning 50+ matches in five straight years (2011-15). He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 4 in May 2015.
Tomas Berdych’s career started to decline after 2016, as he struggled with injuries and form. His last match was a first-round loss to Jenson Brooksby at the US Open.
