Kvitova closes in on return to top 20 in WTA rankings
Print Edition
Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova moved to the brink of a return to the world’s top 20 rankings yesterday, after winning the St Petersburg title at the weekend.
The 27-year-old Czech fell out of the top 20 last year for the first time since January 2011, but has jumped eight places to 21st. Former world No. 2 Kvitova beat defending champion Kristina Mladenovic in the final in Russia to claim only her second WTA title since suffering a hand injury in a knife attack in December 2016. Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki maintains her slender lead at the top from Simona Halep, despite losing to Russian Daria Kasatkina in the St Petersburg last 8. German Julia Goerges broke into the world’s top 10 for the first time, gaining two spots and taking the place of France’s Mladenovic.
