Wimbledon 2014: Petra Kvitova wins her second major title after defeating Eugenie Bouchard

Czech tennis player Petra Kvitova has won her second Wimbledon title after defeating Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard in this year’s final.

The Czech sixth seed reclaimed the title she first won in 2011 with a 6-3 6-0 victory in 55 minutes against Eugenie Bouchard.

Petra Kvitova, 24, has won her second major title which will see her move up to fourth in the world rankings.

Eugenie Bouchard, 20, had made history by becoming the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final.

The 20-year-old had won junior Wimbledon just two years ago and was one win from taking the senior title in only her sixth Grand Slam tournament, but came up against a player in remarkable form.

The only thing that might have troubled a rampant Petra Kvitova was the weather, but early rain cleared and the roof was opened long enough for the final before being brought across for the trophy presentation.
