Petra Kvitova emerged victorious in the final of the bett850open , a tournament with a prize money of $1 million. The Czech tennis star defeated Donna Vekic with a scoreline of 6-2 and 7-6 in a closely contested match at the Steffi Graf Stadium. This marked Kvitova's 42nd title on the WTA tour, having reached 31 finals throughout her career.
The first set was dominated by Kvitova, who secured a clear 6-2 victory. The second set, however, witnessed a high-level and dramatic battle between the two players. Eventually, Kvitova triumphed in the tie-break with a score of 8-6.
Reflecting on her win, Kvitova expressed her surprise at clinching the title and emphasized her affinity for grass courts, which are her favorite surface.
Despite her success, she remained humble and refused to be labeled as a favorite for the upcoming Wimbledon tournament, where she has previously won in 2011 and 2014. Donna Vekic acknowledged Kvitova's exceptional performance and considered her a strong contender for titles on any surface.
While Kvitova had a dominant record against Vekic, winning five out of their six encounters, she praised her opponent's achievements and resilience. Vekic, who battled with significant injury concerns in the past, expressed gratitude towards her team for their unwavering belief in her abilities.
The Berlin crowd showed their support for Vekic throughout the tournament, and she confirmed her intention to return next year, appreciating the positive experience she had in Berlin.
