After narrowly losing the first-set tiebreak, Kvitova fought back to defeat Keys in Cincinnati once more and gain the upper hand in their rivalry. The Czech had lost in this round in 2012 and 2018, therefore this is his first victory in a semifinal of the Western & Southern Open.

Prediction
After defeating 2019 champion Madison Keys in the Saturday semifinal match, Petra Kvitova advanced to the Western & Southern Open championship match for the first time in her career to face Caroline Garcia for the title of singles in Cincinnati.
Although it’s very difficult to predict the outcome of the match, it seems like Kvitova’s racket will play a major role. She should be able to dominate Garcia and win a ninth WTA 1000 championship if she can serve at or near her peak and keep her unforced errors to a minimum. Garcia will undoubtedly have her opportunities as well, though, and this match may end up being extremely close but Kvitova is expected to win in three sets.
