Former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is relishing the chance to say farewell to the All England Club before retiring later this year.

Kvitova 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 US Open in August.

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.
