Madrid queen Kvitova plays down Grand Slam hopes

MADRID - Petra Kvitova, who defeated Victoria Azarenka 7-6 (3) 6-4 on Sunday to win the WTA Madrid title, played down her chances of causing a French Open sensation.

"I don't think that it changes anything for the French Open," said the new world No 10 who stood at 62 in the rankings a year ago.

"Of course it's good preparation. There were good matches here and there is more confidence, but I don't think that it's a big change for me for the French Open.
