BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova won her opening match at the Aegon Classic on Tuesday, beating Tereza Smitkova 6-2, 6-3 at the grass-court tournament.
Kvitova only recently returned to action after being injured in a knife attack at her home last year, playing two matches on clay at the French Open.
”For the first match on grass it was pretty good,” Kvitova said. ”I served well, and played some good shots from the baseline, and I think it was good timing on the court today.
”I have made no change to the way I play.
