Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova announced she plans to launch her comeback in Austin at the ATX Open, February 24-March 2nd.

The former world No. 2 Kvitova also plans to play Indian Wells and the Miami Open, which she won in 2023.

The 34-year-old Kvitova gave birth to her, son Petr, on July 7, 2024. Petr is Kvitova’s first child she welcomed with husband and coach Jiri Vanek.

“I cannot wait to see all my fans around the world. Thank you for supporting me. It will be a nice journey and I can’t wait.”
