Porsche Tennis Grand Prix - Kerber def Kvitova 6-3, 6-2

As the local favorite, it is certain that the 4400 crowd would cheer for Angie Kerber and it is with an impressive form that she started one of her favorite tournament taking revanche on Petra Kvitova, with whom she battle last Sunday in a match she lost not able to find her marks.

Today, Angelique was the Angelique we love to see – confident, determined, tenacious right from the start.  Maybe Kvitova was not at her best, but she did try to find solution but Angie didn't allow her to get into the match.  She was quick, she was sharp and serve well.  The German closed the match in 2 sets to the delight of her fans.  If she keep playing that way, everything is possible.

 “It wasn’t an easy match for me even though it didn’t look that way from the outside,” she said, “but I learnt from my match on Sunday and was fully focussed on playing better today. I tried right from the outset to dominate the match and was quite successful. Things won’t get any easier but the first rounds are always the most difficult for me. So I’m really happy to have won today. I’m up-and-running.”
