The Czech played her first final in Miami in her career and won it 7-6 (16/14), 6-2. After this victory, Petra will return to the top 10 of WTA.
Rybakina was the favorite before the final, winning 13 games in a row. She won in Indian Wells and had a chance to make the famous ‘Sunshine Double’ but fell short against her experienced opponent.
“I’m still surprised. I think the tie-break really decided the whole match in the end…it was probably the longest in my career, and somehow I managed it,” Kvitova said after the final.
