Kvitova Plans to Enjoy Her Last 'Special' Tourney
The Straits Times
|July 01, 2025
Former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is relishing the chance to say farewell to the All England Club before retiring later in 2025.
-
LONDON -
She returned from maternity leave in February following the birth of her son Petr in 2024, but quickly found it difficult to handle the demands of being a mother on the grueling tennis circuit.
The 35-year-old Czech announced last week that she will bring the curtain down on her career after the Aug 24-Sept 7 US Open.
Kvitova's decision gives the former world No. 2, who has won 31 titles in her career, one last opportunity to return to the scene of her most memorable triumphs.
A raw 21-year-old when she stunned Maria Sharapova to win the 2011 Wimbledon final, three years later Kvitova returned to the All England Club title match to rout Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0.
