Kvitova triumphs in Zhuhai

THIRD-SEEDED Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic overcame a slow start to beat Elina Svitolina 6-4, 6-2 yesterday and win the Elite Trophy.

After losing her opening three service games, Kvitova won five straight games to take the opening set. Kvitova carried the momentum into the second and dispatched the fourth-seeded Ukrainian in 1 hour, 10 minutes to claim her 19th career title. The tournament in Zhuhai, south China’s Guangdong Province, featured the 12 players on the tour who didn’t qualify for the WTA Finals in Singapore last week.
