Czech tennis superstar Petra Kvitova has made it into the quarterfinals of the 2020 French Open at Roland Garros in Paris. At this stage of the tournament, Kvitova will face Laura Siegemund from Germany.
Laura Siegemund enters this match having won her previous fixture in straight sets. It was a dominant performance by Siegemund as the German controlled the match with her strong receiving. During the win, Laura Siegemund won close to 50% of her receiving points which allowed her to break her opponent’s serve on 5 occasions. Laura Siegemund has been in decent touch in doubles tennis as she had a strong US Open campaign where she won the title. That being said, she must produce her best tennis if she wishes to compete in this match as she is playing against the number 7 seed.
Looking at Petra Kvitova, the Czech superstar has been in strong form at this tournament as she is yet to drop a set. Kvitova won her previous outing with some ease as she defeated Zhang Shuai in straight sets. It was a dominant performance by Petra Kvitova as she won 89% of her service games and 4 return games. Kvitova has the experience of winning big games and she will be hoping to use that to her advantage in this match. Petra Kvitova didn’t have the strongest US Open campaign but she is looking much sharper in this tournament and is in a much better position to push for the title.
Petra Kvitova and Laura Siegemund have played each other once in the past. The match was played in 2015 at the US Open where Petra Kvitova won in straight sets.
Looking at this fixture, I am going to pick Petra Kvitova to win this match. Kvitova is the stronger player and I see her being in a strong position to challenge for the 2020 French Open title. I see Petra Kvitova being good enough to win this match in straight sets.
