Petra Kvitova wins Wimbledon title

— -- LONDON -- Petra Kvitova overwhelmed Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 in less than an hour Saturday to win Wimbledon for the second time.

The Czech left-hander completely outplayed the 20-year-old Canadian -- playing in her first major final -- with her big serve, aggressive returns and flat groundstrokes.

"I had a great tactic from my coach," Kvitova said in a postgame interview. "... And I just wanted to be here again with the trophy."

Kvitova, also the 2011 champion, put on a clinic of power tennis, ripping baseline winners off both wings and leaving Bouchard looking helpless. Kvitova won the final seven games, finishing with another clean winner -- a cross-court backhand.

When asked to compare this title with her previous Wimbledon win, Kvitova said: "I can't say that it's more special but definitely after three years just to stand here with the trophy again is amazing."

Bouchard was the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final.

"It was really tough for me today," she said, "[but] I feel like it's a step in the right direction."

"I don't know if I deserve all your love today," Bouchard continued, talking to the crowd, "but I really appreciate it."

She was named after Britain's Princess Eugenie, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II. The princess was watching from the front row of the Royal Box.
