Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - 2019 tournament winner Petra Kvitova mastered her difficult first-round task at the tennis tournament in Stuttgart.

The two-time Wimbledon winner won against the American Australian Open finalist Jennifer Brady 6: 4, 6: 3 on Tuesday evening.

In the round of 16 on Wednesday, the world number one from the Czech Republic will face the Greek Maria Sakkari, who did not give Hessian Andrea Petkovic a chance at the start on Monday.

Kvitova won the always top-class clay court tournament in Stuttgart two years ago.

In 2020 the Porsche Grand Prix was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
