NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Second-seeded defending champion Petra Kvitova rallied to beat Madison Keys 4-6 6-1, 6-2 on Wednesday night in the third round of the Connecticut Open.
"The conditions (without the humidity) were perfect for me, for sure," said Kvitova, who revealed several weeks ago that she has mononucleosis. "I felt good and I didn't really have any troubles."
The Czech player also won the event in 2012,
"I didn't really think I was in any trouble out there," Kvitova said. "My only loss came on my serve in the first set, otherwise I thought I was kind of OK from my side.
