Petra Kvitova spoke about the battles she faced on and off the court.
The former world No. 2 is currently the second active player with the most titles won in her career, with 31 WTA tour titles, only surpassed by Venus Williams, who has 49. With an incredible career, Petra Kvitova has won two Grand Slam titles, both at Wimbledon (2011, 2014).

In 2011, at just 21 years old, she entered the top 10 for the first time, and now, at 33, she is still among the top ten best tennis players in the world. The Czech player reflected on the time that has passed in her career, recalling her first Wimbledon title over 10 years ago.
"Winning a title is a magnificent feeling and even more so when I win it on grass, my favorite surface. I still perfectly remember how I won Wimbledon 12 years ago. It's incredible how time flies. It seems like yesterday," Kvitova said.
"Many things have changed in my life. I went through really difficult times both on and off the court, and I went through moments where I really doubted if I was going to play tennis again,” she added.
Kvitova also mentioned that she hopes to remain competitive despite her age and that she wants to continue fighting for important titles:
"I think what has allowed me to continue here is my love for tennis. I still have the motivation to do important things, and age has given me the necessary experience to be more intelligent on the court," Petra Kvitova said.
On her way to winning the Berlin title, she defeated Karolina Pliskova, Nadia Podoroska, Caroline Garcia, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Donna Vekic in the final. Although she was supposed to play the Eastbourne Open this week, the Czech player decided to withdraw before her match against Jelena Ostapenko and rest before facing another Wimbledon.
