“Peter Kvitov will complete his career after US Open 2025”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
On the final decision to complete the speeches: “I am ready to stop now. Mentally, I think, I can no longer do this, just as emotionally and physically. You still remember how it played earlier, how it turned out easy, how I scored Winner, and suddenly it was gone. I am completely ready for a career. I’m not sorry about anything. I still love tennis, but everything else is the expectations of workouts, cars, match – it just depletes. And having a son, it is a completely different life. I just want to spend more time with him [пізніше Петра також додала, що згодом хотіла б мати ще одну дитину]”.
About your return after the robber attack in 2016 and surgery on the hand: “I knew that I was a strong fighter on the court. But then I realized that I was an even larger fighter in a completely different version of myself. It was great, even though playing tennis was very difficult. I cried on the court, I had horrible flashbeans, the nightmares tormented. It was not easy. It took time, but now all is well. Then there was a big question: will I be able to play at all? And I was able. It was my second career. It was incredible. ”
About their brightest victories: “To win on Wimbledon, for the second time, in 2014, it is quite different than for the first time (in 2011). When you know what this feeling is for the first time, you just want to win again. And nothing more. You just know this feeling of victory. This is probably the best memory. I was also very proud when I won the Miam tournament in 2023. Before that I did not show my best tennis, I was not confident at all, felt tired and old. And here it happened. I am very proud of the title. ”
About matches you would like to overlay: “I regret the defeat of Kirsten Flipkens in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon-2013. I remember I was sick at the time. But most of all I would like to beat the finale in Melbourne against Osaka in the 2019 season. It was the most painful match in my career, it was awful. On the other hand, after what happened to me, I would sign everything if you just go to that finale, have a chance to play against the best and compete with them on an equal footing. There was perhaps one game, I remember one technique that came out a little long. He may have changed everything. I had a break-point. But in general I do not know what could change. I think Naomi was just a little better. And all. ”
About your own career assessment: “Apparently, my personality is a reason why I didn’t win anymore. I think I have a talent, however, maybe I could work a little more. But on the other hand, I think it could kill my talent or my mentality. I could win more. But what can I do? I played in the Australia Open Championship finals [2019 року]She lost Naomi Osaki, who then played incredibly in the third set.
There are always a few signs of the question of the number of my titles on the Major, but the status of the first racket in the world is what I miss. This is probably what I would like to do most. But if this did not happen, then it did not happen. It wouldn’t make my life better or happier. ”
Kvitova is the former second racket of the world. Wimbledon won the Peter’s career twice, and became the WTA tournament champion.
In the first round of US Open, it will play against France Dian Parry.
