Wiams and Petra Kvitova’s highly anticipated quarterfinal under the lights inside Arthur Ashe Stadium was many things – a clash of great feel-good stories, a battle between the only two Grand Slam champions remaining in the women's draw and true theater at its finest which finished with an appropriate buzz, humming through the air under a closed roof.
o it was only fitting that for the sixth time in the pair’s six-career meetings, the Williams/Kvitova matchup was extended to three sets, and a third third-set tiebreak. But after two hours, 35 minutes, the No. 9-seeded Williams snuck by No. 13 Kvitova, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6, as Kvitova sent a backhand wide to end an absolute classic that may have been the match of the fortnight thus far.
