Naomi Osaka, Petra Kvitova dig deep to advance to Stuttgart semi-finals Globe_Sports
. The Japanese made 45 unforced errors as she struggles to get to grips with swapping hard courts for clay.
“I told myself I didn’t want to have any regrets here,” Osaka said. “I was stressed out when I went down 1-5... but this was pretty good because I don’t play really well on clay.” Sevastova had a dream start, breaking Kvitova twice to take a 3-0 lead as the Czech struggled with her first serve. Kvitova also made a slew of unforced errors, with many of her returns going long.
However, Kvitova recovered in the second set and she broke Sevastova’s serve when she was 3-2 up, winning 10 straight points to take a 5-2 lead. Sevastova looked shaken and was broken again to give Kvitova the second set.
