After making last year’s final, Petra Kvitova will be hoping to go one better at this year’s Australian Open. First, she’ll need to defeat Ekaterina Alexandrova in today’s third-round match. The Roar will have live scores from around 1:30pm.
Kvitova won her second-round clash in straight sets but was made to work for the 7-5, 7-5 victory by Paula Badosa Gilbert. Alexandrova had a far easier time against Barbora Krejcikova, but was taken to three sets in the first round.
