Kvitova, No. 8 In The World, Enters Southern California Open
The Southern California Open, a major stop on the Emirates Airline US Open Series summer calendar, has announced that Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, ranked No. 8 in the world, has entered the WTA Premier 700 tennis event which will once again be hosted at the La Costa Resort and Spa on July 27-August 4.
Kvitova has won 10 career WTA singles titles, including Wimbledon and the WTA Championships in 2011, when she finished the year as the No. 2 player in the world.

A member of the Czech Fed Cup and Olympic teams, Kvitova will be making her first career appearance in Carlsbad.
