In tennis, Czech women’s number one Petra Kvitová has qualified for the semis of the WTA finals in Singapore in spite of losing her last match. Kvitová has fellow Czech Lucie Šafářová to thank for the semi final place against Maria Sharapova after she beat Germany’s Angelique Kerber in straight sets. Kvitová earlier lost to Spaniard Garbine Marguruza 4:6, 6:4, 5:7 and had to wait for the last group game to know her fate.
