Petra Kvitova held off an injured Eugenie Bouchard to win the inaugural Wuhan Open title 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday in a rematch of the most lopsided Wimbledon final in two decades.
The Czech player dropped just three games in a 55-minute victory at the All England Club, but was made to work for her third title of the year in Wuhan.
Kvitova broke early in the second set to go up 2-0, but seemed to lose her rhythm after Bouchard injured her finger during a rally and began mixing up the pace on her shots. Kvitova was broken while serving for the match at 5-2, but quickly recovered to put the Canadian away.
With the victory, Kvitova secured her spot at the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore, joining Serena Williams, Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova.
