Petra Kvitova overcame a sluggish start and 10 double faults to beat Madison Keys 6–7(6) 6–4 6–3 on Saturday and advance to the final of the Cincinnati Open.
In the day’s first match on a muggy Centre Court, a misfiring Kvitova had trouble getting into gear but produced some of her best tennis when it mattered by breaking the American favorite to start the third set and again to clinch a spot in Sunday’s final.
