Kvitova Wins in New Haven

Petra Kvitova

Petra Kvitova has won the Connecticut Open for the second time, dominating Slovakia’s Magdalena Rybarikova in the final, 6-4, 6-2.  Kvitova, ranked No. 4 in the world, is the reigning Wimbledon Champion, and had previously won here in 2012.  Rybarikova, No. 31, had suffered an injury to her right thigh in her semifinal match against Camila Giorgi and appeared hampered by it, though she did not call for the trainer during the final.
