PERTH, Australia (AP) Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and teammate Tomas Berdych won their singles matches Monday to give the Czech Republic a 2-0 win over Bulgaria at the Hopman Cup.
Kvitova won the last five games of her match to beat Tsvetana Pironkova 6-4, 6-2 before seventh-ranked Berdych defeated Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3.
The countries played a later mix
On Monday night, the United States, represented by Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Mardy Fish, takes on a Denmark team comprising women's No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and Frederik Nielsen.
No. 2-ranked Kvitova won five other tournaments in 2011 to add to her Wimbledon championship, then helped Czech Republic to the Fed Cup title. She was also named the WTA Tour player of the year.
''Of course the first match was tough and I won it,'' she said. ''The last season was longer than normal and I had some rest. Hopefully I am ready to play matches - we will see how it goes.''
