Press release available only in original language.
Stuttgart. A completely new final for the #Porschetennisgrandprix – #petrakvitova and Anett Kontaveit will meet in the last match this year at the long-standing Stuttgart tournament. At stake will be the main winner’s prize, a #Porsche #911carrera4scabriolet. In front of 4,300 spectators in the #Porsche Arena, the Czech Kvitova overcame Kiki Bertens from the Netherlands 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-1 in the first semifinal on Saturday. The Estonian Kontaveit profited from a walkover to advance to the final as the second match in the penultimate round could not be played due an injury to Naomi Osaka, the world number 1 from Japan.
Fourth final in 2019 for Petra Kvitova
The road to her fourth final in 2019 was long and arduous. It took all of two hours and one minute for #petrakvitova to wrap up her semifinal win against Kiki Bertens. At no stage in the match was there any chance of boredom taking hold of the spectators. The crowd were treated to long and, in part, spectacular rallies, even in the third set when the world number 3 was dominating her opponent. The Czech is in good form this season and won the tournament in Sydney at the turn of the year. It is therefore no wonder that she is heading the #Porsche Race to Shenzhen, the official ranking for the prestigious WTA Finals in November.
“On clay, I often need a bit of time to find my game. It’s why I was a little amazed that everything went so well for me in the third set,” she said. “I had a good build up to the tournament and it’s now paying off. I’m getting better and better. The match today, in contrast to my quarterfinal, went really well.” When asked about the final against Anett Kontaveit, she said, “We practiced together before the tournament and it was a lot of fun. It’ll definitely be an exciting final. I lost my last two at the Australian Open and in Dubai, so I really want to win tomorrow.”
