Andrea Petković – It’s Time to Cut and Run
Andrea Petković began playing tennis at the age of six. In 2011 and 2014, she made it onto the world’s top ten rankings. The US Open in 2022 turned out to be her final tournament. But Andrea Petković is more than just a world-class tennis player. Her literary debut, “Beyond Fame and Glory Lies the Night”, was definitely a grand slam. Her honest and moving stories about her life as a tennis pro were a hit, establishing her as a new voice on the literary scene.
In her latest book, It’s Time to Cut and Run, she explores a great shift in her life: her retirement from professional sports. And, in the process, she gets to the bottom of existential questions that we all face when confronting major life changes. Who are you when you leave behind what you’ve dedicated your whole life to? How do you reinvent yourself? And, above all, how do you know that it’s time for this life-changing transition?
