The announcement by Petra Kvitova of his next retreat can leave very big regrets in Loïs Boisson, deprived of Wild-Card for Wimbledon.
The blow is tough for Loïs Boisson. While she had requested a wild card with the organizers of Wimbledon, the latter refused her request, therefore forcing her to go through the qualifications of the London tournament to hope to integrate the female table.
The All-England Lawn Tennis Club notably played the card of national preference by retaining seven English players. As for the eighth invitation, it logically returned to Petra Kvitova, double winner of Wimbledon and return of pregnancy.
The choice of Wimbledon organizers did not fail to amaze. This is particularly the case of Nicolas Mahut.
“Amélie Mauresmo, in the same situation, I remember that she called the players to say to them: ‘Listen, use your protected classification because I will not give you a wild card if you have the opportunity to do it’. So on that, it’s a mini-disappointment. Quite honestly, I thought she would have it ”He thus entrusted to Eurosport.
Loïs Boisson may have it bad
However, Petra Kvitova could indeed have used his protected classification to access the main draw but gave up doing so. The use of these protections being limited to 12 for each player, the Czech seemed to want not to grill these jokers for the future. A theory that shattered with the announcement of the next retirement of the former world number 2.
At 35, Petra Kvitova announced this Thursday his decision to put an end to his career in “a few weeks”, which therefore means that she could indeed have been able to use her protected classification to integrate the table of Wimbledon without having recourse to a Wild-Card. What necessarily leave big regrets to Loïs Boisson.
