Two-time Wimbledon champion calls time on career
TWO-TIME Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova announced Thursday that she will be retiring from the professional tennis circuit after this year's US Open. The 35-year-old Czech, who is currently ranked down at 572 in the world, reached a career-high ranking of 2 in 2011 when she won the first of her two Wimbledon titles. She triumphed again in 2014 and went on to reach the final of the Australian Open in 2019. This week, she was handed a wildcard entry for one last outing on the grass courts of south-west London. Advertisement 'There comes a day that it is time for a new chapter, and that time for me has come now,' the left-handed Kvitova wrote on social media. 'I therefore wanted to share with you that 2025 is my last season on tour as a professional. 'I am excited and very much looking forward to soak in the beauty of playing The Championships, Wimbledon one more time, a place that holds the most cherished memories in my career for me. 'While I am not entirely sure yet what my hardcourt swing in the US will look like, I am intending to finish my active playing career at the US Open in New York later this summer.' Kvitova won Olympic bronze in 2016, but just before Christmas, she was attacked in her home by a knife-wielding robber, suffering cuts to the nerves and tendons in her left hand. She was a member of six Czech teams to have won the Fed Cup and won the most recent of her 31 tour titles on the grass in Berlin in 2023. Kvitova missed the 2024 season in order to give birth to her first child. Since returning, Kvitova is 1–6, with her lone win coming in the first round of Rome. 'I could not have asked or wished for anything more,' Kvitova posted. 'Tennis has given me everything I have today, and I will continue to be forever grateful to this beautiful sport that I love.' – © AFP 2025
