KVITOVA ENDS TITLE DROUGHT WITH WUHAN WIN
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 took just over an hour to defeat Cibulkova 6-1, 6-1 for her second Wuhan title. 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 said.
