Like many others, also Petra Kvitova was hurt by the current situation when there are many tournaments suspended due to Coronavirus.

Kvitova was in Indian Wells to play the 2020 BNP Paribas Open. However, the tournament was cancelled due to Coronavirus as well as Miami Open. After these announcements, the Czech has decided to head back home to Europe. Petra is definitely not selfish when she thinks about health and fighting the virus more than tournaments she will miss. In her Instagram post, she wrote:
"It’s time to leave Indian Wells and head back to Europe. It has been a surreal week here in California, but I’m so happy to see that the health and safety of players, staff, and fans has been the priority. We are tennis players and our job is far less important than those on the frontline fighting this virus. We will play tennis again so please stay calm and in the meantime, let’s look after each other and take the right steps to contain the virus so we can be back soon. Big hugs, Petra."
