Tearful Former Champion Kvitova Loses on Wimbledon Farewell

Petra Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion, lost her farewell match at Wimbledon on July 1, 2025, defeated 6-3, 6-1 by US tenth seed Emma Navarro.
Kvitova decided to retire after the upcoming US Open in August, citing physical decline and changed motivation as key reasons for ending her career.
Kvitova thanked fans for the atmosphere and emotionally addressed the crowd on Court One despite losing, receiving a standing ovation and praise from Navarro and commentators.
She reflected on Wimbledon as a place holding her best memories, called it "the best tournament in the world," and expressed readiness for the next chapter while longing to return as a member.
Kvitova’s farewell suggests a close of a distinguished chapter in tennis marked by 31 career titles, motherhood challenges, and a legacy of resilience and inspiration.
