Petra kvitova into semis of the Rio 2016

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
Petra kvitova kept up her world-class form in the quarterfinals of the Olympic tennis event, soaring past Elina Svitolina 6-2, 6-0, to reach the final four in Rio.

Playing in her second Olympics, Kvitova edged closer to a first medal with a strong win over Svitolina, who was fresh off an upset of World No.1 Serena Williams in the third round.

Converting the only two break points of the opening set, the two-time Wimbledon winner raced through the opening set, and didn't face a break point throughout the 48 minute contest. In all, Kvitova hit 18 winners to just two from the Ukrainian youngster, and hit 11 unforced errors to 16 by match's end.
