Petra Kvitova made a scorching start on Saturday in the Fed Cup final, and she maintained an impressive level of play throughout her match against Maria Kirilenko to claim a 6-2, 6-2 victory. The world No. 2 is in top form at the moment, and it’ll take a big performance from Svetlana Kuznetsova on Sunday to deny Kvitova another win.

"Right now Petra Kvitova is on top of her game," remarked Kirilenko after her defeat. "She played quite a match today. I tried my best... it just didn't work."

With the scores set at 1-0 in favour of the Czech Republic, Kuznetsova was left with the task of keeping the Russian side in touch. She rose to the occasion, comfortably beating Lucie Safarova 6-2, 6-3.

"I felt colossal pressure," revealed the 26 year-old. "But if I was playing that rubber in the year 2004, I think I would feel really tight and jittery. Now I have more expertise, and that expertise helped me to motivate myself and to motivate myself in the right direction."

This matchup could play a huge role in deciding where the Fed Cup ends up this year. Kuznetsova has the experience to have a big impact here, whilst Kvitova, on current form, will be very difficult to beat.
