Dominating Kvitova Wins Second Wimbledon Title

Petra Kvitova, of the Czech Republic, played a nearly flawless match to beat Eugenie Bouchard, of Canada, in the Wimbledon Ladies Finals today, 6-3, 6-0. Just 20, Bouchard was in her maiden final of a Major, the first Canadian ever to play in the singles finals of a Slam tournament, but it wasn’t nerves or poor performance that produced the rather deceptively lopsided scoreline. The match was brief, but entertaining for the breathtaking tennis being produced by Kvitova from the first point to the last, with a brave, if futile, effort from Bouchard, as well.

Kvitova broke the young Canadian in the third game of the first set, and then again to take a 5-2 lead and serve for the set. Bouchard managed to convert on her lone break point of the match, but Kvitova broke back to take the first set. In the second, with her powerful backhand and strong serving, she refused to allow Bouchard to make any inroads and closed out the victory at love. This is the Czech’s second Major win, having previously won at Wimbledon in 2011.

Eugenie Bouchard Wins Title in Nuremberg

Canadian starlet Eugenie Bouchard broke through to win her first WTA title with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Karolina Pliskova to secure the Nuremberg Cup.

Bouchard looked comfortable after bagging the opening set, and seemed to be cruising at 4-2 in the second. She then began experiencing problems with her serve. Pliskova accepted the invitation to get back in the match and duly reeled off four straight games to take the second set and level proceedings. The streak continued with her adding another game to take an early lead in the third.

The deciding set was a roller coaster ride with both players being broken on multiple occasions before Bouchard steadied the ship to prevail and take her maiden title.

“This is kind of like a stepping stone for me. Winning a WTA title is of course a goal I’ve had, and I’m so happy to accomplish it,” stated a relieved Bouchard after the match.

Her win secured the first WTA title for a Canadian woman since Aleksandra Wozniak, in 2008.

She is now scheduled to take on Israel’s Shahar Peer in her opening match of the French Open at Roland Garros.
