Two-time Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova just smashed her way back into the spotlight after a 15-month break to welcome her son, Petr! 🍼 The Czech tennis star scored her first victory since returning to the court, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu 7-5, 6-1 at the Italian Open. 🏆
Kvitova, 35, had lost all four matches since her February comeback—but Rome's clay courts brought the magic. 💫 “It feels much better than losing—that’s for sure,” she laughed, admitting she once doubted she’d ever return. “I was 95% sure I wouldn’t come back… but here I am!” 🌟
Her next challenge? Facing world No. 9 Ons Jabeur. But for now, Kvitova’s just vibing with her comeback journey: “I’m laughing, hitting smooth shots… it’s still there!” 🔥
