The time has come to say goodbye. Petra Kvitova appeared at a press conference of the US Open 2025 and analyzed the attitude with which she faces this final tournament of her career. Aware that she will miss this world, she did not hesitate to analyze some positive and negative aspects of this sport.

A former world number 1 and Grand Slam winner deserves a grand farewell. Petra Kvitova is gearing up for her last assault on professional tennis, fully aware of the many emotions that will pass through her mind and heart when she steps onto the court to put an end to her career. The Czech spoke with accredited media at the US Open 2025, not shy to explain what she plans for the future and how she sees the world of tennis.

"I am clear that the time has come to say goodbye. There has been enough tennis in my life, but I will miss it a lot. This sport has given me everything; I feel very fortunate to have experienced things that most people in the world cannot imagine. Being in the spotlight in a full stadium, battling the ups and downs that occur in a match, challenging myself... These have been incredible years; I will always love this sport. I want to stay linked to tennis, but not as a coach," said the Czech.

She will try to secure one more victory in this US Open 2025, for which she would need to defeat Diane Parry. Questioned about the reasons that led her to want to bid farewell here, in Flushing Meadows, Kvitova is clear. "I wanted to experience the energy that permeates this tournament. When I returned after becoming a mother, I told myself that I had to compete once more, at least in all the Grand Slams," affirmed Petra Kvitova, who is sure about what she would change in this sport.

"If I could change just one thing about tennis, it would be to not travel as much. You cannot imagine how difficult it is to string together trips throughout the year, waking up in hotels sometimes not remembering where you are, and spending so much time in airports. It's very challenging, and I believe the show would improve if we didn't travel as much," said a woman who has made a mark on the tennis world and who wants to have one last dance worthy of her sporting career. Petra Kvitova will be a leading figure at the US Open 2025, come what may.
