Doha, February 18 

Petra Kvitova made a shaky start but found her attacking verve midway through the match to beat world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki 3-6 7-6(3) 7-5 in the Qatar Open on Saturday and set up a final with Spain's Garbine Muguruza. 

Kvitova, 27, who lost the opening set tamely and looked in some trouble while trailing 1-3 in the second, fought back in style to clinch her fourth straight victory over the Dane in two hours and 35 minutes. "I don't know what happened. I was a little crazy in my mind and I was playing everywhere and not to the court," Kvitova said. Up next for Kvitova is Muguruza, who enjoyed the day off after her semifinal opponent Simona Halep pulled out of the tournament with a right foot injury. — Reuters
