Petra Kvitova has no regrets over her decision to retire from tennis as she said goodbye to Wimbledon.

Kvitova, whose two major titles both came at Wimbledon – in 2011 and 2014 – will call time on her playing days after the US Open in September.

The Czech made her farewell appearance at the All England Club on Tuesday, going down 6-3 6-1 to number 10 seed Emma Navarro.

Kvitova has won 38 matches at Wimbledon across her career, the most she has won at any of the grand slams.

And though sad to be leaving the court in the coming months, the 35-year-old is ready for a new stage in her life.

"This place holds the best memories I could wish for," an emotional Kvitova said in an on-court interview after her loss to Navarro.

"I never dreamed of winning a Wimbledon and I won it twice. This is something very special.

"I will miss Wimbledon for sure. I will miss tennis, I will miss you fans. But I'm ready for the next chapter in life as well, and I can't wait to be back as a member."

Asked if her decision to retire after the US Open was still unchanged, Kvitova said: "I am sure. The motivation, it's different than it was before."

Navarro, who avoided the fate of other top seeds in a first round that saw plenty of upsets, will take on Veronika Kudermetova next.
