PETRA KVITOVA ADVANCE TO THE SECOND ROUND IN US OPEN 2013

KVITOVA_MISAKI DOI 62 36 61

Playing on a windy Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday, No. 7 seed Petra Kvitova had an up and down match in her first round 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 victory over Misaki Doi of Japan.
 The six-foot Kvitova started the match strongly and looked as though she was going to overpower the comparatively diminutive Doi, who stands at five-foot-3. 


The No. 7 seeded Czech player had a massive lapse in concentration in the second set, however, committing 15 unforced errors. Doi smartly recognized an opening and upped her game, serving at well placed angles and dictating points, dragging Kvitova all over the court to force a third set. 


 After a lengthy bathroom break between sets, Kvitova came back swinging and immediately asserted herself by breaking Doi’s first service game in the third set and capably closed out the match to advance to the second round.
