Ex-Wimbledon champion Kvitova returns to tennis after giving birth
Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova said Monday she was returning to the sport seven months after giving birth to a son.
"After fifteen months being away from tennis and having my baby boy Petr, I'm coming back to the tennis circuit," Kvitova said in a video message on Instagram.
She added she would return at Austin at the end of February and then continue at Miami in March.
"I really miss tennis and I miss competing," added the 34-year-old Czech, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014.
The former world number two married her coach Jiri Vanek in July 2023.
She announced the break due to her pregnancy on New Year's Day 2024 and gave birth to her son on July 7 last year.
Kvitova has won 31 WTA singles titles.
