Kvitova stops Serbian qualifier Stevanovic in the third round of Wimbledon

Ninth seed Petra Kvitova ended the run of Serbian qualifier Natalija Stevanovic and advanced to the fourth round of Wimbledon with a 6-3 7-5 victory.

The world No.225 Stevanovic made a good start, going up a break with a 2-1 lead and showing confident body language. However, Kvitova regained her footing right away, broke back to level and cruised through the remainder of the 38-minute set.

In the second set, Stevanovic displayed an impressive comeback by winning three consecutive games, turning the score from 2-4 to 5-4. However, the match on Court 2 was interrupted by rain at that point.
