Tennis : Petra Kvitova reaches Dubai final after beating Su-Wei Hsieh in three sets

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova came back to edge Taiwanese veteran Su-wei Hsieh 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 on Friday and reach the Dubai Championships final. The second-seeded Kvitova picked up her tour-high 17th victory of 2019. She made it to her third final of the season - she was the runner-up at the Australian Open. The Czech left-hander will meet two-time defending champion Elina Svitolina or Belinda Bencic in the trophy match. Hsieh was trying to eliminate her third top-10 seed of the week. But after dropping five games in a row to lose the opening set and trail 1-0 in the second, Kvitova got her big-hitting game back in gear. The players traded three breaks to begin the third set before Kvitova held for a 3-1 lead and was on her way.
