Kvitova produces comeback to dispel Suarez Navarro, Ostapenko and Kuznetsova ease through

The action continues at the Qatar Total Open in Doha with multiple second round games including the likes of Petra Kvitova, Aryna Sabalenka and Svetlana Kuznetsova being completed.

Kvitova was in the winners' circle at the Qatar Total Open after producing a comeback to defeat Carla Suarez Navarro. The Czech eighth seed had to come from a set down to defeat the retiring Spaniard.

She lost the first 6-4 but rallied from there winning the next two relatively comfortably 6-3, 6-0 to move through to the Last 16.

In the end, it was a pretty complete win for Kvitova who hit 70 percent win percentage on her first serve, 84 percent on her second serve and in all 4/9 on her break points.

There was also a great exchange between the two in the end with the victor knowing of course about Suarez Navarro's impending retirement.

There was also some victories which were a lot easier. In the case of Jelena Ostapenko and Svetlana Kuznetsova, they came through without a deal of fuss against Barbora Strycova and Iga Swiatek respectively.

Ostapenko had to battle through to defeat Jil Teichmann on Sunday but came through in a 6-1, 6-2 victory over her Czech opponent to move into the third round.

Kuznetsova confirmed a meeting with Amanda Anisimova after recording the same scoreline (6-2, 6-2) as her opening round victory in defeating Swiatek.

Number nine seed Aryna Sabalenka herself had a battle though in defeating Anett Kontaveit. The Belarusian won the first set 7-5 but lost the second making a real battle of it and took the last 7-5 in not the perfect start to her tournament in Qatar.

Saisai Zheng also came through like Ostapenko and Kuznetsova with relative ease defeating Vera Zvonareva 7-5, 6-1 and next up now is the in-form seventh seed Kiki Bertens.
