The Czech, who won the Aegon Classic in Birmingham last week - her first grass-court appearance since being stabbed by an intruder at her home in December - carried on where she left off with a 6-3 6-4 win over the Swede.

Although she wasn’t at her absolute best, Kvitova is a grass-court specialist, having won the title in 2011 and 2014 and she will now face either Madison Brengle or Richel Hogenkamp.
