Flipkens in three, don't think Kvitova can go all the way again.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I picked Petra in straights.

Battle of the '11 ladies champion and the '03 girls champion.

Oh Petra...
I will go with Petra in 3 sets....cause I know she will go walk about in the 2nd set.

 

[HawkEye]

Voted for Petra, but it will be though.

 

[kskate2]

Petra 2, possibly 3

It is going to be a damn good battle, but I do pick Kvitova in three tough sets. Flipkens has a lot of quality shots and has been coming into her own as a singles player, though, so I wish her well.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Match is on!

Another close one but Petra with a set point...

 

[kskate2]

One set all and 2-2 in the decider. Definitely a close one

---

Petra in trouble. She dumps serve at 4-4 after leading 40-15. Kirsten is serving for the match.

 

[tossip]

Petra gone..this event is turning into something..
Imagine Flipkens winning...the whole thing.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Oh well, I am 2-2 for the day!

Kirsten made 5 errors the entire match?

 

[tented]

Impressive win. (I'm just getting caught up on today's matches.) Petra was not happy. That was the coldest handshake I've seen in a while.

I thought she looked close to tears. But she did wait for Flipkens before she walked off the court. Hmm!
