Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova will begin her 2023 grass court season in Berlin on Monday.

Following the Miami win, the 30-time tour-level champion broke back into the top 10 for the first time since September 2021.
Currently ranked no. 9th in the world, the former world no. 2, will look to make a good start on grass, where she has a 5-1 record in finals.
She will be playing in Berlin for the first time though. The Czech left-hander brings a 17-7 season record into the tournament, where she is the seventh seed.
She lost both her clay court matches in Madrid and at Roland Garros but was 17-5 on hard courts. In addition to winning the Miami title she was a quarterfinalist at Indian Wells and Adelaide-2. How is she going to fare on grass?
