Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova bid an emotional farewell to tennis as she ended her illustrious career with a first-round defeat at the US Open.

The 35-year-old suffered a 6-1 6-0 loss to France's Diane Parry on a sparsely-filled Grandstand Stadium on Monday.

Czech Kvitova said in June that she would end her 18-year career in New York.
