Rybarikova in straights over Strycova to reach the Birmingham final.

Come on Kvitova!

 

[spystud]

She takes the first @ 3.

Petra v. Rybarikova in Birmingham, Tatjana Maria v. Sevastova in Mallorca.

 

[Pagoo]

Good win for Kvitova. Maybe pull out of Eastbourne and rest up for Wimbledon.

 

[spystud]

Wow, T. Maria beats Sevastova in straights to win Mallorca.

 

[spystud]

First title for her, that’s pretty cool.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

That's title #5 for Kvitova this year and title #25 in her career. Impressive.

Most amount of titles won last year was 5 by Svitolina. Petra already achieving that after less than 6 months.

Her titles this year:
St. Petersburg (indoor hard, Premier)
Doha (hard, Premier 5)
Prague (clay, International)
Madrid (clay, Premier Mandatory)
Birmingham (grass, Premier).

Wimbledon would really cap that list off

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Since the start of 2015 Petra has accomplished ALOT:
Won 4 Premier 5/Mandatory titles
Won 11 titles overall
Won a Bronze medal
Made the 2015 YEC final
Won 2 Fed Cups
Won the Elite Trophy
3 wins over a reigning #1

What she hasn't done though? Made a slam SF since she won Wimbledon in 2014. Would definitely be hoping to do that at this Wimbledon.
