Petra Kvitova will continue her Generali Ladies Linz Open campaign today with a quarter-final clash against Daniela HantuchovaYou can watch and bet on the action from the WTA Linz Open at bet365Petra Kvitova earned a berth in the quarter-finals of the Generali Ladies Linz Open on Thursday with a fairly straightforward 6-2, 6-3 victory over Patricia Mayr-Achleitner. She’ll be glad to have gotten the job done within two sets, as the Austrian was in no mood to go down without a fight. Mayr-Achleitner saved eleven break points, but in the end this wasn’t enough.
Kvitova may be the top seed here, but this hasn’t spared her from a tricky matchup today against world No. 25 Daniela Hantuchova. Hantuchova was engaged in a lengthy battle with Ksenia Pervak in round two, and she may be a little fatigued heading into this match after securing a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 win in over two hours and forty minutes.
Kvitova has faced Hantuchova twice this season, winning on both occasions. This is no guarantee that the world No. 4 will prevail again, but it suggest that Kvitova can edge one step closer to her fifth title of the season here in Linz.
