Kvitova, Niculescu to fight in the Luxembourg final

Petra Kvitova and Monica Niculescu will fight for the title in Luxembourg.

Kvitova

After a not so great 2016, Petra is having fantastic results at the end of the season. The Czech won the tournament in Wuhan at the beginning of the month, and now she has a shot at the second title of the year. In Luxembourg, Petra accessed the final after defeating Lauren Davis 7-5 6-3. Kvitova was down in both sets (3-5 in the first and 1-3 in the second), but eventually, she has found the way to victory. After the semifinal, Petra commented “I was down each set, I really had to fight a lot. I had to come back in both sets. She was playing really well.”  

Niculescu

Monica reached the final after defeating Kiki Bertens 6-3 6-3. She was blessed in the quarter after Caroline Wozniacki conceded a walkover. 

Head to head – Kvitova vs. Niculescu

Petra leads Monica 2-1 in head to head matches. They played twice in 2016 with Kvitova winning the second encounter after she was defeated in the first.
