Kvitova vs. Bouchard Preview

If you would have said before the tournament started that Kvitova and Bouchard would be battling for a championship, more than a few eyebrows would be raised. 

Kvitova has excelled at Wimbledon in the past, winning here in 2011, but she's played uninspired tennis in 2014. The 24-year-old doesn't have a singles title this year, and she was knocked out in the first round at the Australian Open and in the third round at the French Open. 

Even during this event, Kvitova hasn't played flawless. She was nearly upended by Venus Williams in the third round after losing the first set and trailing 4-5 in the second before escaping. She's been rolling ever since, winning eight consecutive sets. 

On the other side, Bouchard is in uncharted, but not unexpected, territory. The 20-year-old has been steadily building toward something big for a long time. She made it to the semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open.

Bouchard is riding a wave of momentum that will carry her to a title. It also helps that she's a bad matchup for Kvitova.

As noted by Chris Chase of USA Today, Bouchard is an aggressive player who brings the action to her opponent: 

"

She takes the ball early and create angles that force her opponents into playing defensively. Her serve is solid and her groundstrokes are precise. But the thing you hear about most often is her tenacity and fight, the intangibles that prove so important in a one-on-one battle such as tennis.

"

Kvitova has to rely on her huge serve to overwhelm opponents because she doesn't really have anything else. She leads all women at Wimbledon with 38 aces. During rallies, she tends to sit back, letting her opponent dictate the action, and has a long stroke that prevents her from moving around with ease. 

Bouchard has had the more difficult path to the final, defeating four ranked players in a row and two top-10 stars in Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep. Kvitova caught breaks along the way, playing no one ranked higher than 23rd before the final round. 

The stage is set for Bouchard to capture her first Grand Slam championship. She hasn't wilted under the pressure yet, so why start now?
