Today saw Petra Kvitova become the first left-hander to win the ladies' Wimbledon championship since her idol and compatriot Martina Navratilova. The eighth seed Kvitova was certainly the underdog against fifth seed Maria Sharapova who hadn't dropped a single set in the tournament.
If Kvitova was nervous ahead of her debut Grand Slam final, she certainly didn't show it and took the first set 6-3. Sharapova looked a little uncomfortable against Kvitova and she looked a little uneasy about to how to counteract playing a left-hander. Sharapova tried to hold her own in the second set but the powerful returns of Kvitova left the Russian in despair. Kvitova took the second set 6-4 and won the final point with an ace to earn her first Grand Slam title.
