WIMBLEDON champion Petra Kvitova and Tomas Berdych had straight-set singles victories over France yesterday to give the Czech Republic its second Hopman Cup title.
Kvitova won the last three games of the first set and went on to beat Marion Bartoli 7-5, 6-1 while Berdych was perfect in a first-set tiebreaker and beat Richard Gasquet 7-6 (0), 6-4. The Czech pair were unbeaten in singles through three matches leading to the final.
The Czechs won the eight-country mixed teams title for the first time in 1994 when Jana Novotna and Petr Korda beat Germany in the final.
France has never won the Hopman Cup.
