Petra Kvitova dominated the week at the St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy, losing just three games in the final against Kristina Mladenovic to lift her 21st career title and her first of the 2018 season. The Czech champion moved her astounding career-record in finals to 21-7 and moved to No.5 in titles among active players.

The big-hitting Czech joins the WTA Insider Podcast after the win to reflect on her week in Russia and explains (or at least attempts to explain) what it's like to have such a devastating game and why she's such a big-match player.
