2020 was a fairly decent year for Kvitova. She managed to reach the quarters of the Australian Open 2020 but lost to World No.1 Ashleigh Barty in straight sets.

She took revenge on Barty by defeating her in the semis of the Qatar Open 2020. But, she couldn’t keep her calm in the finals of the tournament where Aryna Sabalenka thrashed her in straight sets.

When tennis resumed after the long break, she played some great tennis at the US Open 2020. However, she lost to Shelby Rogers in the Round of 16 stage in a close contest. She didn’t take part in the Italian Open 2020 and tried her luck at the French Open 2020.

Surprising all her critics, she was dominant in the tournament until she faced Sofia Kenin in the semi-finals. Before that match, she had not lost a set. Unfortunately, Kenin defeated her in straight sets, denying her the opportunity to play her first French Open final.
