Petra Kvitova played with so much courage and tenacity, it's a well deserved win for her. 👏👏👏

[@einarsd4]

Agreed Shifft. Petra Kvitova indeed showed champion's courage and tenacity.

[@jasperherr8694]

She looked so tired at the end! Hope she gets some good rest

[@einarsd4]

@@jasperherr8694 I hope for it too. Petra Kvitova really wore her down. Kvitova was superb.

[@jnid1758]

so many errors though, she could've won it earlier if not for those. hope she cuts on those else she doesn't have a chance against sabalenka and swiatek when the time comes

[@Alfredul03]

I love that the game ends in hugs, it's so comforting and that it brings positivity to this beautiful sport. IMHO!

[@nappin0730]

Agree with you. Petra has always been a lady and respectful but so is Jessica, thinking about a good girl she is , evermore. The embrace at the end shows good intentions from both. It should be like this in every game as you say, but not every player is like them. Maybe these ladies bring bright this positive vibes and make it mainstream, tennis should be like that. Specially on the women side i think

[@amb817]

Yay Kvitova. What great sportsmanship from these two. I loved the comment Pegula made “somebody end it” haha

[@UAMartin7]

Congrats to Kvitova! One of the nicest WTA players.

[@aldwinera166]

Jessica Pegula is an absolute class act. ❤

[@philipcross8121]

She certainly is! I remember her gracious reaction at the net with Maria Sakkari in Miami in 2021 after losing, which would have been tough having had SIX match points! I knew then Jessica Pegula was a class act.

[@scriptsmith4081]

Indeed- her courage and skill doing battle with such a bigger, stronger opponent was something to see.

[@jackprecip5389]

Jess is a nice kid, and as you point out, a class act. Somewhat surprising since she was born with a platinum spoon in her mouth, the daughter of a billionaire. Usually, kids of the super rich tend to be brats and self centered jerks who think they're better than others, but you never get that vibe from Pegula. Heck, it might be the one thing holding her back a little, as it must be hard to be hungry for those first place checks when even the ones for 7 figures are practically meaningless for her economically. The popular cliche for tennis players is saying that the money doesn't matter, that it's the prestige of the title that's important, and most of them are lying when they say it, but with Pegula, that's absolutely true.

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

not recently lol go watch her play in Charleston lol she was yelling, tossing and banging the racket something fierce lol

[@johnalbertsivila8857]

Pegula saying that can someone just end the match gives a good laugh for them both. They both shown good sprotsmanship which makes me love them so much.

[@saifsattani2424]

The way Petra kept her initial celebration short so that when she turned around to greet Pegula at the net she wouldn’t seem obnoxious ❤ love her

[@kevankwok01]

To save 4 match points is incredible, let alone against someone as consistent as Pegula. When Petra is on she's on fire! Epic match.

[@falks941]

It really was incredible. She saved all 4 match points with clean winners. Tough as nails.

[@kevinlakeman5043]

And when she's not on, she's a hot mess. Glad she won, but she just has too many stretches in too many matches where she's a mess of unforced errors, double faults, and low 1st Service %. That's basically been for career for about nine years.

[@falks941]

@@kevinlakeman5043 Why criticise? We all know how many errors Kvitova can make in matches, but why be so negative and talk about her weaknesses after such an impressive match? She’s just won a match where, at 33, almost 10 years after her last slam win, she showed that she is still capable of displaying all of her best qualities as a player. That in itself is quite special.

[@rupeshchavan1935]

Petra somehow finds herself in these iconic matches😅🤦‍♂️❤️ What a match, well played both ladies🔥

[@falks941]

I can’t believe Petra won this. I will never get tired of watching her tough out these kinds of matches 💣 full respect to Pegula for her grace in defeat too.

[@STRAWYB]

I was out of my seat . OMG Petra Petra Petra what have you done to me. My neighbours think I am going crazy in the night here. What a class of tennis. Never say done for Petra when she is on fire. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@SuperMatyoO]

Both are sweethearts. We need more players like those two beautiful souls.

[@SC-mo7pe]

I love both. They are genuinely kind.

[@ithikithik]

I will always be happy everytime Petra wins a match. She's very likeable.

[@chiefscheider]

Fantastic match. Congrats Petra and well done Jessica!

[@tennisfan1706]

Love both of them. Happy for Kvitova! She’s a warrior

[@WTA_FAN]

What a tie-break! Nice match and nice hug at the net Congratulations Petra good luck. Jess I love you :)

[@luizsmello]

The second match between these two in this season, second win for Kvitova and second great match between them. These 2 matches are 2 of the Best matches of the season so far. Petra deserves the World. What a great caracter, what a great Champion. Hope she still has some good years ahead and maybe some import titles. My favorite player by a mile! ❤️🙏

[@theresamorgan8065]

Petra is one of the last remaining from what I consider the great era of womens tennis -with both Williams sisters playing, Wozniaki, Radwanska, Li Na, Kerber, Clijsters - players who had more to their game than just hard hitting from the baseline.

[@rejanshrestha7847]

Love these both …congratulations Petra ❤️ and congratulations to Jessica as well..she fought hard till the end ❤

[@1faros]

The heart and mind of a Champion !! Hooray for Petra.

[@nikolauda9]

This is master class from Petra, im glad to see her this way

[@tolykozin]

Really she should have won at least 20 GS titles by now, but good for Petra, well done. The crowds and her fans are always rooting for her!

[@spartan7911]

I wished Sakkari would have won 2 grand slam titles like Petra achieved.

[@dayostical]

20 is a bit of a stretch, but she definitely should have more than two.

[@kevinlakeman5043]

@@dayostical A bit? It's a massive, meathead exaggerration. No one who is that up and down in her game could ever think of winning like that. Maybe 4.

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Incredibly dumb comment. She's far too wildly inconsistent for that, with 3-4 game stretches of just unforced errors and poor serving.

[@kecleonboi]

At her best i think Petra could have 8-10. But consistency and mental strength have often been her weaknesses and those are both key components to taking the slams. She has all the right shots. The groundstrokes and serves are already pretty amazing.

[@betungurawilliam]

Kvitova is a tennis treasure

[@jeromesim9739]

Man, that was inspiring!!!

[@thanhvu7145]

We still love you Petra, so nice to see you play like the old days...😍

[@johnbamouk7130]

Love them both,down to earth lovely classy and both of them fantastic players..This match was epic..

[@sebastiangeere4129]

I love how humble both the players are🥰

[@gtan307]

These two players are the symbol of sportsmanship and the exchange at the net in the end was so beautiful to see. Shame that these exchanges are never viral on the media and people forget it real quick. Media only highlights drama and shadiness 😅.

[@charcoalberries819]

Wow! Absolutely incredible work from Petra to come through a match like that saving FOUR match points!! So happy she won this match!

[@Mattmerrison]

Jess was so sweet at the end at the net. Congrats Petra!

[@janvodicka3051]

What a game, what a great performance from both girls. Congratulations to Petra.

[@11liamk1]

wow those match points saved! Impressive because they weren't from Jess making an error but Petra truly winning the point

[@roysantiago9131]

Petra is so brave for coming up to the net on match points

[@einarsd4]

Petra Kvitova proved why she is a Grand Slam champion. Her fighting spirit was absolutely unreal. So many times it looked like that she will lose this match, but she pulled through anyway. What an ultimate fighter she is. Saving 4mps against as good and as consistent opponent as Pegula is simply unreal. What courage and bravery Petra Kvitova shown in this match. Pegula too played great, but Kvitova was bit better in the end. She never gave up despite all the odds. Petra Kvitova is such an amazing tennis player. I hope that she at least gets to the Final of this tournament. I loved how Kvitova hugged Pegula and Pegula's smile at the end of the match. What a great sportsmanship these two ladies have. They both are so incredibly nice. Congratulations Kvitova on winning this match.

[@STRAWYB]

I will have to watch this match again and again. Most inspiring.

[@normandmiranda9429]

Omg!! Go Petraaaaa!!! The heart!!!

[@melissao9836]

Petra reminds us that anything’s possible !! She is the queen of never give up . In fact she seems to play better w her back against the wall 😅.

[@artgat652]

not gonna lie, petra’s win brought happy tears to my eyes.

[@ianhope3203]

Brilliant and so good to see the good sportsmanship at the end. 👏👏👏👏

[@christianfernandez91]

Good attitude from jess. Hoping this isn't a downer for her and takes the bright side of being able to go in fresh to miami

[@mariamshaki2427]

True definition of coming back

[@AFCompany]

I like Pegula but when a player plays with that much courage and that fearless going for shots when their back is against the wall they deserve to win. Congrats to Kvitova. This makes me miss the days of Sharapova, Serena, and Venus playing their best when they were down.

[@johndole9381]

I have to tip my hat for these two young ladies. What a match, what a tie-break...!

[@casimiraganding3256]

I love Pegula but Petra is a rock and refuse to give up , good match unbelievable

Not young any more but Petra still shows us great fighting spirit and brings us with surprises

[@theresamorgan8065]

Petra needs to win this tournament. Love watching her when she is on her game!

[@Focus01411]

wow....what an incredible game by both players. I used to watch Petra in my younger when she was in her prime so I was so excited to see her play so well again against a great fighter and good sport in Jessica Pegula. Keep going Petra and wind back that clock as far as it can stretch!!

[@TheDeadlyKnight]

Petra is enjoyable to watch when she’s on. It’d be cool if she somehow had one last magical run to a Slam trophy before she rides off to the sunset

[@brennenrivera4288]

Great match! But my heart continues to break for Pegula, always coming up a bit short in these big tournaments. But Kvitova was aggressive when it mattered, blasting forehand winners to hitting great volleys on the big/match points. Amazing match, this one will sting for Jessica :,(

[@ltrotter636]

Seems like she's been really progressing in all tournaments the last two years, singles and doubles.

[@kecleonboi]

Pegula has been beating Petra a ton lately so my heart does not break for Pegula at all. Like what? She is top 10 and comes from a billionaire family 😂

[@bootykingnadal]

Pegula needed more power on the 3rd set tiebreak, I think, Kvi was gifting many points to her, but overall was a great match

[@jacktaylor9290]

You don't have to feel too sorry for Jessica Pegula lol

[@kecleonboi]

I think the both player really enjoyed her match, specially in the 3rd set with epic tie break ending.

[@55555gino]

Super match from both ladies and what a class act Jessica is !

[@mehmetdogaguvendi580]

What a sensational encounter! In fact, I had predicted that it was going to be a demanding clash which will be played between Pegula and Kvitova. The win predictors indicated that Pegula will gain against Kvitova but everything concludes on the court. The outcome detects on the pitch, saving match points, withstanding the rigid assaults of Pegula, holding out the influential returns of her rival brought such a fabulous glory to Petra. It is really an extraordinary match! Fairplay at the net! Massive congrats to my second most female favorite competitor!

[@sitepuherman2944]

" A Fair Play👍👏 " at the end of this great match 🔥

[@user-kl3sl5pp7g]

She's still got it! Incredible fight from both but Petra is absolutely fearless and goes after it even when she's facing match points which is something Pegula will never do, she just doesn't have it in her. Petra can win this for sure she just needs to bring this type of tennis 3 more times and it's hers. 🏆

[@rokale7418]

Neer say never. She can work on that!

[@christopherblair3200]

Petra normally loses these close ones in final set tie breaks so good for her.

Great fight from both!!! Bravo!!!

[@KCNwokoye]

What a match.

[@lesandres23]

Kvitova is class!

[@crazycatpetera1404]

Kvitova was under so much pressure in the third set, 0-2 down, then 4-2 down, then 0-2 in the Tiebreaker and then saved 4 match points 🤨🤯 She was so courageous, she deserved the win - all 4 of the match points she faced were saved by Kvitova, not lost by Pegula.
