"I'm very happy for me and Victoria Azarenka" - Kvitova on the veterans still on top in tennis

Petra Kvitova and Victoria Azarenka are veterans but they are still capable of deep runs at grand slams as they proved this year.

Azarenka actually played in the US Open final two years ago but lost to Naomi Osaka. Kvitova has had a few deep runs recently as well and the Czech player is just proud of how they are capable of keeping up with rising superstars such as Coco Gauff:

"Definitely, I'm glad that I'm one of them, for sure. Yeah, Coco Gauff, it's a little bit putting us very low, but otherwise, I'm very happy for me, for [Victoria Azarenka], and this kind of age, I think that that's something what we are still working hard and playing tennis."

She continued:

"I think we do have some successes from the last years, so we are maybe using even the experiences from our career maybe. But it's actually it's nice. I feel like it's good to have, for sure, because we are on the tour so many years, and I'm just happy that we could still, you know, manage it and still, you know, facing the young generation."
