Former champion Petra Kvitova beat fellow Czech Lucie Safarova in straight sets on Thursday to enter the Wimbledon final . Sixth seed Kvitova won 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 in the first all-Czech semi-final at a Grand Slam. The 2011 champion will now face either third seed Simona Halep or 13th seed Eugenie Bouchard in Saturday”s final, and is hoping to win a second Grand Slam title. Kvitova and Safarova are good friends, Fed Cup team-mates and train at the same club in Prostejov. At 24, Kvitova was the younger by three years, but the senior partner in terms of achievement. A Grand Slam winner already, she had a 5-0 record against Safarova, a heavier serve and more potent attacking game – but Safarova was far from overawed on her Centre Court debut. According to the BBC, Kvitova gave her familiar yelp of delight after entering second Grand Slam final. (ANI)
