The Czech Republic advanced to the Fed Cup semifinals after double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova beat Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-4 in Prague yesterday. Kvitova’s victory gave the Czechs an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the first-round match and secured a 10th straight appearance in the last four. They will face Germany or Belarus in the April semifinals. The big-hitting Czech put her opponent under pressure with aggressive strokes on the indoor hardcourt, breaking serve twice in the first set. Kvitova, who hit 10 aces, then got the decisive break for a 4-3 lead in the second set after Bencic sent a forehand long.
