Kvitova win clinches Czechs' spot in Fed Cup final

Reuters Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 22 - 04 - 2012

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic - Petra Kvitova put defending champions the Czech Republic into the Fed Cup final with a 6-4 7-6 win over Italy's Francesca Schiavone on Sunday.
Kvitova's 10th consecutive win in the team competition put the Czechs 3-0 to the good and clinched a final against either Russia or Serbia.
Schiavone, who had been suffering a neck injury during the weekend, showed plenty of grit and looked set to push the world number three to a deciding set.
However, Kvitova came back from 2-4 down in the second set to force a tiebreak against the world number 12 and then cruised through the breaker 7-1.
"The weight was rather on my back today. I'm happy with how I handled it and getting a 10th straight victory," Kvitova said.
Playing at home for the first time in two years, the Czechs never allowed Italy a glimmer of hope as they won all the singles matches in straight sets.
