Petra Kvitova, the 2011 Wimbledon champion, broke the 23rd-seeded Lucie Safarova’s first serve, survived a first-set tiebreaker and moved into Saturday’s final with a 7-6 (6), 6-1 victory.
“It was a tough match, mentally as well, because Lucie is a good friend of mine,” Kvitova said.
Eugenie Bouchard defeated Romania’s Simona Halep 7-6 (5), 6-2 in semifinal play at Wimbledon 2014 on Thursday to become the first Canadian women’s singles player to advance to a Grand Slam final.
Genie Bouchard said after the match: “To get to my first Grand Slam final, it’s very exciting. It’s what I’ve worked so long for, you know. So I’m just proud of myself for today’s effort.”
The tennis coach Nick Saviano said about his player Genie Bouchard: “It was an excellent win for Genie…she showed composure and competitive spirit and will be looking forward to her being the best she can be in the finals.” [We] want to sincerely thank everyone back at home in South Florida, at our Academy in Plantation and friends from all over who have supported this journey from the beginning…thank you all.
Good luck to Genie Bouchard in Wimbledon final!
