Thirty-year-old Kvitová won the CTS President’s Cup tournament in Prague at the end of May and now has her first international triumph within reach since the professional season came to a halt due to the pandemic in March.
In the German capital, the twelfth player in the world defeated the home team Andrea Petkovicová and the Netherlands Kiki Bertens without losing the set. With the current world number five Svitolinová, he has a significantly positive balance of 7: 2 on the WTA Tour.
