Kvitová to be first Czech in action in Fed Cup semis in Stuttgart

Petra Kvitová will take on Julia Görges in the opening match of the Czech Republic’s Fed Cup semi-final against Germany on Saturday. In the next rubber Karolína Plíšková will face Angelique Kerber.

If the Czechs advance in Stuttgart they will play either France or the US in the Fed Cup final in October. The Czech Republic have won the competition five times in the last seven years.
