Kvitova reaches second round at Wimbledon

Xinhua, June 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

Defending champion Petra Kvitova eased her way into second round of the Wimbledon Championships by beating world No.108 Kiki Bertens here on Tuesday.

The second-seeded Cezch needed only 35 minutes for the 6-1, 6-0 win over the Dutchwoman on Centre Court.

Kvitova, also the 2011 winner, captured her second Wimbledon title by defeating Eugenie Bouchard of Canada in the final last year.

"It was a great feeling," Kvitova said after the match. "I have so many nice memories. I was very nervous. But when I was on the court and people were clapping the atmosphere was unbelievable. "

She will next face either Japan's Kurumi Nara or Magda Linette of Poland. Endi
