Silaslej, some quick general comments:

• Overall, the article is well-cited. I just added a bunch of citations to Kvitova's rankings history page on the WTA website any time her year-end ranking or in-season ranking is mentioned without another citation. I will check for other missing citations later.
• The tennis guidelines require using the non-sponsored names of tournaments (often including the name of the city or country) instead of the sponsored names. For example, mentions of the "Rogers Cup" should be changed to the "Canadian Open", the "BNP Paribas Open" is just the "Indian Wells Open", and the "Mutua Madrid Open" should be just the "Madrid Open". Those are just a few examples. There are others that should be changed. You can find most of the non-sponsored names if you go to main tournament page (e.g. the Canadian Open) rather than the tournament page for a specific year (e.g. the 2019 Rogers Cup). I can help go through these if you would like. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 04:19, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Noted, yes you can go through them yourself. Thanks again. slej (talk) 07:15, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Silaslej, I archived all of the sources to account for the WTA website recently changing their links. Also, I fixed some of the links in her early career section that were missing the "work" parameter. Overall, I think the article is in good shape and I am ready to pass it. Good work!!
