Angelique Kerber of Germany will battle Puerto Rico starlet Monica Puig for the women's tennis gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games on Saturday after the pair navigated difficult matches in the last four.
Australian Open champion Kerber will be the overwhelming favourite to add Olympic gold to her achievements after eliminating Madison Keys of the United States, 6-3, 7-5.
Kvitova will now face Keys in the bronze-medal match to fight for third.
Currently rated the second-best women's tennis star on the planet, Kerber has experienced the best season of her career as she develops into a Grand Slam mainstay on the circuit, challenging for every trophy on offer.
