Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic celebrates defeating Eugenie Bouchard of Canada in their women's singles final at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon |
Petra Kvitova overwhelmed Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 in less than an hour on Saturday to win Wimbledon for the second time.
The Czech left-hander completely outplayed the 20-year-old Canadian playing in her first major final with her big serve, aggressive returns and flat ground-strokes.
Kvitova, the 2011 champion, put on a clinic of power tennis, ripping baseline winners off both wings and leaving Bouchard looking helpless. Kvitova won the final seven games, finishing with another clean winner a cross-court backhand.
Bouchard was the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final.
