The former world No. 2 had announced on New Year's Day that she and husband and coach Jiri Vanek were expecting their first child together, and has been on maternity leave for the entire season so far.

The third of the WTA tour's new moms in 2024, Belinda Bencic, was one of the first players to congratulate Kvitova in the comments of her post, sending three heart emojis. The 2020 Olympic gold medalist welcomed daughter Bella in April.

Kvitova finished the 2023 season as the world No. 14, a year that was highlighted by triumphs at Miami and Berlin. The win in Miami was her first WTA 1000-level victory in five years.
