After 15 months away from the tour, former World No.2 and two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is ready to return.

The 34-year-old, who gave birth to her son Petr in July of 2024, will play later this month in Austin, before competing at Indian Wells and Miami in March.

“After 15 month being away from tennis and having my baby boy Petr, I’m coming back to the tennis circuit,” Kvitova said. “I really miss tennis and miss competing. I’m really looking forward to be back – I’m planning to play end of this month, a tournament in Austin, then Indian Wells and Miami. 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.”
