Kvitova moves on as Muguruza crashed out of National Bank Open in Montreal

A couple of seeds played today in Montreal with different results. Petra Kvitova took on the surging Fiona Ferro and she handled the French player rather comfortably 6-4 6-4. Kvitova had a rough going in Tokyo but today she looked much better.

She played a very good brand of tennis dominating on her own serve not facing a single break point in the first set. She took it with 6-4 after patiently waiting for her chance. The 2nd set started off badly as Kvitova was down 0-3 early but fought back to make it 4-4. She then closed it out with 6-4.

Garbine Muguruza will not join her in the 3rd round as the Spaniard crashed out against Katarina Siniakova. The Czech gold medalist is a very tricky player capable of beating great players and that happened today. After beating Ostapenko, Siniakova carried that good momentum into this match.

She took the first set with 6-2 rather easily but then got smashed in the 2nd set receiving a bagel 0-6. It seemed like Muguruza would find a way to win the match but the Spaniard simply could not string together a good run of points. In the end, Siniakova proved better winning the 3rd set with 6-3.
