Prague Open: Petra Kvitova beats Mihaela Buzarnescu in final

Petra Kvitova came from a set down against Mihaela Buzarnescu to win the Prague Open on home soil - her third WTA title of the year.

The Czech raced into a 3-0 lead but Romania's Buzarnescu took the opening set after winning five straight games.

But world number 10 Kvitova hit back before taking a hard-fought decider to win 4-6 6-2 6-3.

The two-time Wimbledon champion, who has now won 23 WTA tournaments, denied Buzarnescu her first career title.

Kvitova, 28, has had a strong season on the women's tour, winning both the Qatar Open and the St Petersburg Open, following six months out after a knife attack at her home in December 2016.
