Kvitová did not lose the set or Shuai Zhang and will play the quarterfinals of the French Open

Petra Kvitová before the break of more than five months, she managed to play four tournaments and advanced to the quarterfinals in all of them. However, she waited to this day after another restart of the season to this day. In Flushing Meadows, she finished at the preparatory Western & Southern Open right after the opening match and at the grand slam US Open in the round of 16.

The 30-year-old Czech arrived at the ongoing French Open without any general, as she has recently had problems with her problematic left forearm on clay. It seems that the left hand is still holding on and the two-time Wimbledon champion does not suffer from indecency at all.

The last Czech representative in singles in the Roland Garros complex, without losing the set, gradually consulted with the local Océane Dodinová, the clay artist Jasmine Paolini, the teenager Leylah Fernandezová and today in her first Paris eighth final after five years Shuai Zhang. With a Chinese woman mutual balance improved to 4-2.

“It was a difficult match, it serves well and plays aggressively. The first time I didn’t deliver it, but the second time I made it and I’m happy,” said Kvitová at Philipp Chatrier’s center after advancing to the quarterfinals, securing her return to the top ten of the WTA rankings.

Today, when Kvitová played half of the matches under the open sky and the other under the overcast roof, she didn’t even have to reach for the best of her repertoire, and her average performance was enough for her to advance in two sets. From the beginning of the match, she was clearly a more active player on the court, with her opponent, who had problems with her right foot during the course, had no weapon against her, and until the score of 6-2 5-2 she played clearly.

However, when she had to finish the match, she stuck, started to buy unnecessary mistakes and lost the serve for the first time in the match. Today’s duel could have ended at the reception at 5-3, but she did not change the match. She did not waste the second attempt to finish the match, she even managed it with a clean game and after less than an hour and a half she celebrated the progress.

Maxim Kvitová’s clay grand slam, which she missed last year, is the semifinals from 2012. Since then, she has not succeeded in Paris, advancing to the second week only once during the last six starts (round of 16 in 2015).

He will play with the level of his Paris maximum Laurou Siegemundouwith which the only duel so far she won masterfully. Even in the fifth match at this year’s French Open, he will not face a rival opponent. The 32-year-old German eliminated 7-5 6-2 in her first round final in the grand slams after sets 7-5 6-2 Paul Badosaovou from Spain.

The quarterfinal cast will be completed by the winners of the fights Ons Džabúrová – Danielle Collinsová and Fiona Ferrová – Sofia Keninová. In the upper half of the spider, Iga Šwiateková with qualifier Martina Trevisanová and Elina Svitolinová with another qualifier Nadia Podoroská will share it in the semifinals.
