BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Ginapi ni two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, sumabak sa kanyang ikalawang torneo mula nang mapinsala ang kamay sa pananaksak ng magnanakaw, si Kristina Mladenovic, 6-4, 7-6 (5) para makausad sa semifinals ng Aegon Classic nitong Biyernes (Sabado sa Manila).

“I am sorry for what happened at match point, but I am very happy to win,” pahayag ni Kvitova. “She is very highly ranked (12) and for me it is only the second tournament in my comeback. I was very happy with my performance.”

Sunod na makakaharap ni Kvitova ang childhood friend at kababayan na si Lucie Safarova, nanaig kay Daria Gavrilova ng Australia 6-7 (4), 6-3, 7-6 (5).
