WUHAN, China
Peng Shuai gets her first win over Petra Kvitova after eight meetings in dramatic fashion, winning two of three tie-break sets to knock out the defending Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open champion, 7-6(7), 6-7(5), 7-6(3), the longest tour-level match of the season at three hours and 34 minutes.
The Chinese No.1 had only taken two sets from the two-time Wimbledon champion ahead of Monday night's - later Tuesday morning's - encounter, and Kvitova's head-to-head dominance hardly appeared in danger when she held three set points in the opening tie-break.
