London: Defending champion Petra Kvitova reached the Wimbledon third round yesterday with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Japan's Kurumi Nara. Second seed Kvitova will face either 26th seed Jelena Jankovic or Evgeniya Rodina for a place in the Last 16.

"It was a good match from my side. I was really expecting a tough match because I saw a little bit when she played Venus Williams here last year," said six feet tall Kvitova, who towered over the five feet, one inch tall Nara.
