Petra Kvitova v Ekaterina Alexandrova Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the 2020 Australian Open where Kvitova defeated Alexandrova 6-1, 6-2 in the third round.

Kvitova Aims for Maiden Miami Semifinal
She has featured in this tournament since 2008, but Kvitova has never made it to the semifinal before. There have been three quarterfinal appearances before this too, including one last season but this time around Kvitova will hope she can take that leap further.
Kvitova will have a good chance too, having shown she still has the capability to quell some of the in-form players in recent times.
It started with a second round win over Linda Noskova where she dropped just three games before the in-form Donna Vekic was dumped 6-4, 7-6 (3). And then in the fourth round, facing Varvara Gracheva, Kvitova registered a 7-5, 7-6 (5) victory.
Sure, it wasn’t the easiest of wins against a player who is ranked 54th in the world but Kvitova would be reasonably satisfied with the way she kept her cool in difficult times. This included seven of the eight times she faced a break-points and saved them.
Against Alexandrova, both the quality and the stakes will be a lot higher but Kvitova is a seasoned campaigner who shouldn’t face too many nerves.

Alexandrova Benefits from Andreescu Withdrawal
“I have never felt this kind of pain before,” is what Bianca Andreescu is supposed to have said to the medical staff after having taken a tumble in the third game of the second set of her fourth round match against Alexandrova.
And just like that she had to be wheelchaired out of the court, giving Alexandrova a match that was on a knife-edge.
By that time, Alexandrova had just scraped past Andreescu in the first set after being down 2-0 and then missing a chance to serve for the set at 5-4. Andreescu also led 2-0 in the second set when this injury occurred, giving Alexandrova her first quarterfinal look in a hardcourt WTA 1000 event.
This follows a shock win over Belinda Bencic in the third round where again, it took time for Alexandrova to settle down but she came away a victor in straight sets.
Can she now make the semifinals?
