Melbourne Summer Series women’s wrap: Barty, Kvitova winners on a star-studded day – Australian Open
Ashleigh Barty, Petra Kvitova, Sofia Kenin and Naomi Osaka were among the victors on a day for the big names at Melbourne Park.
“I lost many times against Venus and I knew it would be very difficult. I think it was a good quality match from both sides, said Kvitova, who next meets Argentine Nadia Podoroska in the Yarra Valley Classic third round.
“We are kind of playing similar game. We are serving and returning pretty well and in the rallies it’s always 50-50. I lost to her in a very painful match in the US Open quarterfinals, but on the other hand I beat her in … Wimbledon when I won it. So yeah, we are 50-50.
