Petra Kvitova in the Cincinnati semi-finals by beating Tomljanovic
WTAFriday, 19 August 2022 at 21:10
Petra Kvitova advanced to the Western & Southern Open semi-finals by beating Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2 6-3.
Kvitova did not have a very good year so far this year but she was able to secure a pretty big win over Tomljanovic in Cincinnati. She showed an improved level at Wimbledon and it's obvious that her form is trending in the right direction leading up to the US Open.
She's not having trouble with the different (lighter) balls and the ball is flying really well. The powerful serve was on full display here as well as she hit 12 aces in total. The percentage was pretty decent at 61 % as well and it was just a great performance from Kvitova.
She returned well as well putting a lot of pressure on Tomljanovic who struggled with her 2nd serve. Kvitova won 12 of 19 points on the Australian's 2nd serve using five break points as well. She was broken twice as well so it wasn't perfect from her but she won't find many negatives in a 6-2 6-3 performance that got her a WTA Premier 1000 semi-final.
Up next for her is a red-hot Madison Keys who looks really sharp as well.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
