US Open: Kvitova makes second round

Czech Petra Kvitova, the No 21 seed, advanced to the second round of the US Open by defeating Russian qualifier Erika Andreeva 7-6 (3), 6-0 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City on Tuesday.

“I think I started not really the best” she said after the match. “I was pretty nervous, pretty tight, and I wasn’t really loose to play my game, to play kind of fearless and just go for it. I think it’s kind of normal for the first-round matches.”

“And I think she mostly came with nothing to lose, just hit the balls, she didn’t miss, she was running side to side like a very good mover. It took me a while to get back, and I had to fight back with the break down, but I made it. So I’m very happy that I was turning around the first set and obviously won the whole match.”

Kvitova, ranked No 21, will play Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina next.
