Fitzpatrick Suffers Prerov Defeat
 Anna
Fitzpatrick reached the second round
of the $25,000 Zubr Cup in Prerov
before going down against top seeded
Czech Petra Kvitova on Thursday.
The Monte-Carlo Academy star, who
qualified for the tournament before
defeating Iveta Gerlova in the first
round of the main draw, suffered a
6-1, 6-2 loss against World No. 159
Kvitova.
“Anna missed the opportunities to
make it close, especially in the
second set,” said MCTA Director of
Coaching David Sammel. “Anna can
play at this level but to do so we
have to get her practicing at this
level. She did well given her few
exposures to top 100 type players
and Kvitova is a certainty for the
top 100.”
Kvitova, ranked 220 places higher
than Anna on the Sony Ericsson WTA
Tour, began the year by winning 17
consecutive matches on the pro
circuit, picking up three titles in
the process. The 17-year-old also
has a 16-2 record in the juniors
this year.
