With Simona Halep absent through injury, Kvitova has the opportunity to capitalise and climb the rankings if current leader Naomi Osaka falls early in Germany. Kvitova did her part in the second round after a first-round bye, sweeping past Minnen despite a wobble in the middle of the second set.

On a pitch quickened by rain and shorn of turn or movement, and with the ball skidding off the outfield, Hubli’s opener Mohammed Taha batted with abandon.
