Kvitova crashes out in Madrid in the first round after a lacklustre performance

Czech tennis player Petra Kvitova had a bad start to the tournament in Madrid, where she dropped out in the first round. She lost to her opponent Teichmann after a lacklustre performance in two sets.

Petra Kvitova’s fate assigned Swiss Jil Teichmann to the first round of the tournament in Madrid. However, the Czech tennis player failed to win her match, losing to her opponent after 3::6 and 5::7.

Kvitova could look forward to the tournament in Madrid, as she had experienced great success there. She won three times in 2011, 2015 and 2018. However, Kvitova is not in good form at the moment, which was reflected in this match.

Kvitova has lost her fourth match in a row and has left three consecutive tournaments in the first round. Apart from Madrid, she was also burnt out in Stuttgart and Charleston, all clay tournaments.

It should be noted that her lacklustre form was also evident in this opening match at Madrid. Kvitova was tightening the score all the match, moreover she made 40 unforced errors in the whole match. You don’t win with that kind of error count.

In Madrid, other Czech tennis players Tereza Martincova, Kateřina Siniaková and Linda Fruhvirtová are going to the first round. On the other hand, Karolína Muchová and Maria Bouzkova, who defeated Karolina Pliskova in the first round, have already made it through.

Kvitova’s first-round defeat, which saw her lose 205 points, saw her fall in the WTA rankings and she will drop to at least 31st in the overall rankings.
