Her best win by ranking on clay 💥 Jule Niemeier eliminates three-time Madrid champ Kvitova to advance to Round 3! #MMOPEN
Petra Kvitova was well beaten on Thursday to begin and end her Madrid Open campaign against German ace, Jule Niemeier in a 7-6, 6-1 win.
Kvitova looked tired and not herself from the first ball and Niemeier took advantage.
She saved two set points at 4-5, served for the opening set at 6-5 and then was sent to a tiebreak which the German sealed before using that start in 77 minutes to breeze through the second.
Kvitova racked up 53 unforced errors and now the victor will face Elise Mertens or Rebecca Marino in the third round with the Czech ace falling in her first match since the Miami Open title.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
