Petra Kvitová, two‑time Wimbledon champion, played her final match at the All England Club, exiting in the first round after a 6‑3, 6‑1 loss to No. 10 seed Emma Navarro. The 35‑year‑old Czech, who will retire after the US Open, showed early promise with a 3‑1 lead in the opening set but lost momentum as Navarro dominated late. After a heartfelt farewell and an emotional on‑court interview usually reserved for winners Petra Kvitová reflected on winning Wimbledon twice in 2011 and 2014, calling it “something very, very special.” She shared gratitude to fans and said she’s “ready for the next chapter” in life.
