Kvitova captures first title of career in Hobart

On Friday at the final of Hobart, a Czech captured her first title of the year and of her career, as she beat her compatriot in straight sets.

Petra Kvitova and Iveta Benesova battled it out in the final of the Moorilla Hobart International, and Kvitova won in straight sets to Benesova, 75 61.

"It was very windy and cold, and when she came back to make it 5-5 in the first set I was very nervous," Kvitova said. "Then I started focusing on every point and I started playing well again. The second set was much quicker. I'm very, very happy. I really like it here, so it's exciting for me to win my first title here."

"It has been a good week for me. Now I'm hoping to do well in Melbourne, too. I have a tough first round though - Azarenka is playing really well."
