Petra Kvitova showed she will be a serious contender at Wimbledon after beating Australian Ashleigh Barty 4-6 6-3 6-2 to win the Aegon Classic in Birmingham on Sunday, in just her second tournament since returning from a knife attack injury. The 27-year-old Czech, a Wimbledon winner in 2011 and 2014, not only looked untroubled by her hand this week but she also looked back to her best with her explosive serve often too much for Barty on Sunday as she produced 13 aces. — Reuters
