(Rank/Seed)
In a see saw match, (8/6) Kvitova edged (7/5) Errani 62 16 61 to win her tenth career title.
1st Set
Kvitova dominated to begin with, hitting 19 winners to just 15 errors as she overwhelmed the Italian, who hit a mere one winner.
2nd Set
Out of the blue, despite being broken in the first game, Errani battled back, attacking the net at every opportunity to win 6 straight games to level the match. Errani now hit 8 winners, whilst Kvitova managed only 9 as she struggled to cope with Errani's serve and volley change up.
3rd Set
The first three games were crucial, as both held and then Kvitova recovered from 0-40 down to hold for 2-1. From there on in, the momentum returned to Kvitova who powered through the next five games, finishing with 47 winners to 37 unforced errors; the only real poor stat was her 8 double faults to no aces. Still, Errani did very well to even get in the match, showing a side of her game not many had witnessed before. All in all, my prediction Kvitova would win was correct and it turned out to be a great all court final, with 41 forays to the net between them!
