Kvitová missed the lead 5: 2 in the first set, but in the end she succeeded 7: 5 in a tie-break. The 32-year-old Czech did not start the second set well and lost 0: 4. But then she won six games in a row and for the first time this season won three games in a row.
Another rival of the two-time Wimbledon champion will be Polka Iga Šwiateková, who will become world number one next week. Advancing to the quarterfinals, Kvitová reached the maximum in Miami.
Fruhvirtová in Florida unexpectedly advanced through the former world number one Victoria Azarenkova from Belarus or the Belgian Elise Mertens, but the player from the third hundred did not surprise Badosa.
In the second set, she took the lead 2-0, but Badosa turned the score with four consecutive points. In an unfavorable situation 3: 5 Fruhvirt averted the match ball, but another Spanish favorite turned and ended the match.
