The men's and women's co-op WTA 1,000-point clay tournament is being held in the Italian capital. Kvitova, who won two Wimbledon Women's Singles titles on grass, said that her first win on clay was quite surprising, "It's a bit strange that I've never played the best tennis here. But at least it's much better than losing, that's for sure. The 35-year-old Kvitova, who gave birth to her son in July last year, did not return to the court smoothly in February this year, from Austin, Indian Wells, Miami to Madrid, has won four consecutive tournaments, and now Rome is off to a good start and is about to face Tunisia's No. 27 seed Jabbar.

Kvitova revealed that the 2023 Beijing competition fell into an unprecedented low ebb, and she once considered retiring, "At that time, 95% of them were sure that they would not come back, because they had enough and could not play anymore, so we decided to try to have a child." It wasn't until she got back to racquet after becoming a mother that she was able to get the former world No. 2 back on the court, and even though it was hard to become a mother, she continued to fight to the end, "I will enjoy it no matter how long it takes." ”
