Petra Kvitova defeated Elena Rybakina in the Miami Open final and after the match, she admitted that nobody in her team really expected this kind of result.
Kvitova didn't have that great of a year so far and she came to Miami with very little expectation. Nobody even thought about the possibility of a deep run or going to the final let alone winning it. However, that is exactly what happened as her confidence grew with every match and every victory. It culminated with Kvitova playing really well and winning the event admitting after:
"Nobody really expected this": Kvitova calls Miami Open triumph over Rybakina 'unbelievable. I would have laughed at you I'm sorry, but it was great for sure. I think nobody really expected this, not either me or my team I would say. So, I really enjoyed this (2023) Sunshine Double. I'm injury free and yeah, oh my god I made it."
She's hopeful that this good run will translate in the clay season that begins on Monday.
