An intriguing match saw a seesaw battle in set 2 much like set1, four back to back break of serves are exchanged. Pavlyuchenkova and Kvitova both play some tremendous tennis, but are also responsible for some careless errors. Uncharacteristic, especially from Kvitova who is known for her consistency. Kvitova does however win it in the end breaking Pavlyuchenkov in the last game again.

Pavlyuchenkova is careless again, after producing a moment of magic at 15-30 to level it at 30-30, she serves a double fault to hand  Kvitova a match point which she duly takes.

In another mix of brilliance and carelessness,  Kvitova manages to hold on to her serve. She makes a horrendous unforced error and also serves a double fault. Kvitova does however prevail in the end.

Pavlyuchenkova displays a lot of resilience as she comes back after being 0-30 down. In a mix of attacking and counter-attacking tennis,  Pavlyuchenkova prevails to level the set at 4-4.
