Kvitova to resume playing after birth of her son

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has announced she will return to the sport following the birth of her son.

Former world number two Kvitova has been away from tennis for 15 months, last competing at the China Open in October 2023.

The 34-year-old Czech, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014, gave birth to her son in July 2024.

“After 15 months being away from tennis and having my baby boy Petr, I’m coming back to the tennis circuit,” Kvitova said in a video on Instagram.

“I really miss tennis and I miss competing, so I am really looking forward to being back. I cant wait.”

Kvitova said she plans to return at the ATX Open in Austin, Texas, which begins on 24 February.

She has won 31 WTA singles titles, most recently triumphing in Miami and Berlin in 2023.
