On Friday, Kvitová played the first exhibition in the same place in the finals, but she fell with Svitolinová. The corrective attempt started immediately. For the second tournament, Kvitová was placed directly in the semifinals, and although she defeated Petkovicova 6: 4, 6: 1 on Monday on the grass, on the hard surface in the Berlin hangar, the 32-year-old players from the Balkans were theoretically a slightly better chance. Petkovicová can do it for a Czech tennis player and a duel on a hard surface in the hall offered a real drama …
Although the world twelve Kvitová broke the opponent’s serve right at the beginning, she then lost four games in a row and did not save the first set. In the second, the tennis player from Fulnek led 3: 0, but Petkovicová did not give up and equalized to 4: 4. In the tenth game, Kvitová won the third break in the match and thus the entire second set.

Both players know each other very well, they have clashed 13 times on the circuit (if we include the exhibition from this week) and Kvitová’s balance turned to 7: 6 in her favor. In the decisive set, the two-time Czech Wimbledon champion had the upper hand from the beginning and after less than an hour and a half against Petkovicová, who ranks 87th in the rankings, she changed the first match ball.

He leads the Pink Team in Prague
The third part of the Tipsport Elite Trophy was launched in Prague’s Štvanice on Saturday, in which Kvitová was replaced by Barbora Strýcová in the role of captain of the Pink Team. The black team of captain Karolína Plíšková, who won the first two events of the series, Karolína Muchová, who defeated Iga Šwiatekova from Poland, the 49th player in the WTA rankings, took the lead after the battle 6: 4, 2: 6 and 10: 8.
Subsequently, however, the star reinforcement confirmed its qualities – the Swiss Belinda Bencicová. The world number eight crushed Tereza Martincová 6: 0, 6: 2 and immediately tilted the tongue of the scales to the “pink” side of the Slovak Viktória Kužmová by winning 6: 4, 7: 5 over the young Nikola Bartůňková.

The third point was added to the “Růžových” account in the doubles Strýcová with the Swiss Stefania Vögeleová, who won in two sets over the pair Kristýna Plíšková, Markéta Vondroušová twice 6: 2. On Sunday, the charity exhibition continues for the second day, culminating on Monday.
The doubles was also played for the Pink team, which was represented on the court by Strýcová and Vögeleová
Forejtek and Krejčíková aim for another triumph
Jonáš Forejtek and Barbora Krejčíková can follow up on the triumph from the June event of this series in Doksy at Mácha’s Lake at the exhibition tennis tournament Trophy of Solidarity and Hope ČTS in Prostějov. Forejtek will play with another teenager Jiří Lehečka in Sunday’s final, Krejčíková will play the role of the favorite against Darja Viďmanová.

Forejtek, like Krejčíková, did not lose a hundred in the group stage and was also 100% in today’s semifinals. Nineteen-year-old talent defeated Zdeněk Kolář’s biggest favorite 7: 6, 6: 3 in it. In the second semifinal, 18-year-old Lehečka defeated 6: 4, 5: 7, 6: 2 of the second seed Lukáš Klein from Slovakia.

Two-time Grand Slam doubles champion Krejčíková moved into the role of the biggest favorite after her traditional doubles teammate Kateřina Siniaková sensationally dropped out of the group. The 24-year-old Brno native defeated compatriot Miriam Kolodziejová 6: 3, 7: 5 today and scored the eleventh winning duel in a row. Her final opponent will be seventeen-year-old Viďmanová, who advanced to Sunday’s climax thanks to a 6: 2, 6: 2 victory over Veronika Vlkovská.
