Petra Kvitova stunned Maria Sharapova on Saturday to set up a championship clash against Agnieszka Radwanska at the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global.
The day's first semifinal was already an underdog story with Radwanska, who had gone 1-2 in the round robin, ending the perfect week of Garbiñe Muguruza, who had gone 3-0 in the round robin.
And it was exactly the same story in the second semifinal as Kvitova, 1-2, came out swinging against Sharapova, 3-0, reeling off four games in a row to capture the 42-minute opening set, 6-3.
The No.3-seeded Sharapova rebounded in a big way in the second set, storming out to a 5-1 lead, even bringing up a set point at 5-3, but the No.4-seeded Kvitova caught fire one last time, winning five of the next six games to push the set to a tie-break then taking seven of eight points from 2-0 down to close the match out in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6(3), letting out one last battle cry after match point.

Safarova waved farewell to the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore
presented by SC Global in style with an impressive victory over
Angelique Kerber in Friday, 30 October.
"That's
teamwork," Safarova said. "I am happy for Petra that she
went through to the semis and I am happy for my win today as well."
Safarova, who had played well in losing efforts in her opening two
round robin outings, got off to the perfect start against
Kerber, breaking twice in the first three games.
Kerber, on the other hand, appeared to struggle with the occasion,
never threatening to close the gap as the Czech calmly closed out the
set.
"I was not feeling good. From the first point I couldn't find
my rhythm. I was actually not there," Kerber said. "I was
tight and I was not playing my tennis. Lucie played a good match for
sure, but for sure it was not my best match today."
When Kerber dumped a forehand halfway up the net to surrender her
serve in the third game of the second, Safarova's stranglehold on the
match tightened further. The only slight wobble came in the
final game, Safarova spurning three match points before finally
closing out victory at the fourth time of asking when the German sent
a tired forehand wide.

2015年香港羽毛球超級賽，將於11月17至22日在紅磡香港體育館舉行，由於是全年12站超級系列賽的尾站，是年終賽最後入場券及奧運會的搶分站，所以各方勢力，可謂磨拳擦掌，力圖佳績。
一向以來，中國是羽毛球壇第一大國，但從近期成績看來，確實是令人擔憂；傳統上最有優勢的女雙項目，不知如何，竟然無法落實一對王牌組合，以致失落不少冠軍，而表現平平的駱贏、駱羽姐妹，卻是鋼鐵組合，而且不乏出賽機會，實在令人費解。
女單方面，本來亦是中國強項，由於多年以來均以拉釣突擊為主導打法，面對異軍突起的西班牙馬蓮，其快速強攻的打法下，中國女單球員，顯得無所適從，加上各地的好手湧現，均以中國為目標，所以中國女隊，確實險阻重重。
張楠、趙芸蕾本來在混雙項目中，可說是有極大之優勢，無奈兩人均要兼項，以致近期成績明顯下滑，同時亦令男雙項目中，最有幾機會的傳海峰、張楠組合，受到拖累；另外男單項目中，現在由諶龍領軍，在林丹狀態未復，和第二梯隊未能接上的情況下，亦未敢樂觀。
