New world No. 9 Petra Kvitova loses 6-3, 6-4 in the final of the Prague Challenger to Magdalena Rybarikova. Kvitova, who won Madrid, chose to play her home area Challenger rather than Rome. Her manager, Miroslav Cernosek, runs the tournament. "I have always trained at the TK Prostejov club," she said. "Mr. Cernosek is the owner there and he has always been good to me. He asked me to play a long time ago, so it is only correct that I honor my commitment to him. I have had a great week in Madrid and I'm very proud to be in the Top 10, but it is only a number and I think it's more important to be loyal to those who help you on the way up."
