 It was all on the line on Saturday - not just the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open title, but a spot in the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global. And it was Petra Kvitova who rose to the occasion, storming past WTA Rising Star Eugenie Bouchard for the double payday. The No.3-seeded Kvitova had won the pair's only two previous meetings handily in straight sets, including a 55-minute, 6-3, 6-0 drubbing in the Wimbledon final this summer, and she did it again this time, breaking early in both sets and hanging onto those breaks to win in straights, 6-3, 6-4.
