Kvitova ends title drought with Wuhan win

Author: app/afp

WUHAN, China: Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova ended her 13-month title drought with a straight set win over Dominika Cibulkova at the Wuhan Open on Saturday.

The former world number two appeared to be in a hurry to secure the crown – her second in Wuhan – taking just over an hour to defeat Cibulkova 6-1, 6-1. Kvitova has had a year of stark highs and lows – scooping an Olympic bronze medal but failing to get further than the round of 16 at any of the Grand Slams.

“I need this kind of consistency all year, which to be honest, I don’t think I can really do that. I’m probably the player who has up and downs,” Kvitova told reporters after the final.
