BIRMINGHAM, Great Britain
Petra Kvitova kept her hopes of a second successive title in Birmingham alive with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Julia Goerges.

The two-time Wimbledon champion, going for her fifth title of the year, beat Goerges for the sixth time in seven meetings to book her place in the semifinals.

"I think the score looks a little bit different compared to game. I think I found my game after the second half of the first set," Kvitova said after the match.
