Wozniacki beats Beck to win Luxembourg Open title

Johannesburg – Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki has won the Luxembourg Open title by beating Germany’s Annika Beck 6-2, 6-2 in straight sets in the final on Sunday.

According to Sport24, Wozniacki, ranked ninth, who beat this year’s Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki in the semi-finals, gave 57th-ranked Beck no opening in their first meeting.

It was Wozniacki’s first title since the Kremlin Cup in Moscow in 2012, the report said.

Wozniacki, an alternate for the season-ending WTA Championships, which starts in Istanbul this week, had seen a slump in form with her best result this season being runner-up in Indian Wells, the report added.

She said that the result in Luxembourg was going to give her a lot of confidence.
