She hit 25 winners compared to Petkovics seven.That was the tactics on the fast court, to attack from the very start, Kvitova said.Petkovic came into the final having won in Bulgaria on Sunday for her third WTA title of the year but her relative lack of experience of big occasions proved decisive.Kvitova led the Czechs to their previous two Fed Cup titles while the Germans have not won the trophy since 1992.I was nervous but so was Andrea and I was trying to capitalize on that, Kvitova said. It was not the first time and I have experience to play like that. Im just glad I did everything well.Petkovic double-faulted to drop her serve in the second game of the opening set. Kvitova served an ace in the following game to build a commanding 3-0 lead and attacked Petkovics second serve with big forehands to earn another break in the sixth game.The German got one break back to reduce the lead to 5-2 but was broken again when her backhand hit the net on Kvitovas third set point in the following game.After losing the first set, the 14th-ranked Petkovic broke in the opening game of the second but Kvitova immediately broke back and looked in control throughout.It was very important that I got the break back, Kvitova said.
