Czech tennis star Petra Kvitová will be bringing home yet another trophy after Sunday’s German Open final in Berlin. The current top-ranked Czech tennis player in the world cemented her position by beating the Croatian Donna Vekic without losing a single set.
Despite a tiring Saturday that saw Kvitová play the quarter-final and semi-final of the German Open in one day due to bad weather on Friday, the 33-year-old still managed to triumph over Croatia’s Donna Vekic, seven years her younger, in Sunday’s final, beating her 6:2, 7:6.
The match lasted one hour and 43 minutes and Kvitová managed to bag the title, her 31st on the WTA circuit, without losing a single set. She is only the second player aged over 30 ever to win the tournament.
Following her victory, Kvitová thanked her coaches, fans and family for their support.
