Wozniacki wins Copenhagen title
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 06 - 2011

ranked Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark won her second straight Sony Ericsson Open title Sunday, beating fourth-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-4 in the final.
Wozniacki has not lost a set all week in Copenhagen, and the 20-year-old Dane dominated from start to finish to claim her fifth WTA title of the year in front of a sellout home crowd at the Farum Arena.
The 38th-ranked Safarova converted her only break point in the match to level the second set at 2-2, but Wozniacki sealed the in 1 hour, 7 minutes.
By defending her title in Copenhagen, Wozniacki brought her total number of WTA titles to 17.
Queen's final postponed
Andy Murray's clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Queen's Club final has been postponed until Monday after heavy rain washed out play in west London Sunday.
Tournament organizers had brought forward the final to 1100GMT Sunday in a bid to beat the rain, but prolonged downpours throughout the morning and afternoon meant there was little chance of play.
The covers briefly came off Center Court at 1430GMT before another shower forced the ground-staff to haul them back on and, with grey clouds hanging over the venue, it was decided to call off play at 1645GMT.
Murray will return to Queen's Monday hoping to win the Wimbledon warmup event for the second time in three years, while Tsonga is bidding to become the first French winner of the event.
It was a similar story in Birmingham where the Edgbaston final between Daniela Hantuchova and Sabine Lisicki was also postponed until Monday.
Kohlschreiber wins
In Halle, Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber won the Halle grasscourt tournament Sunday after countryman Philipp Petzschner retired with a back problem.
In the first all-German Halle final since the Wimbledon warmup event started 19 years ago, the pair slugged it out in an exciting first set before the 27-year-old Petzschner retired, trailing 7-6, 2-0.
World No. 49 Kohlschreiber landed his first singles title since Auckland in 2008.
Both players dominated on their service games on the extremely fast Halle grass, making it virtually impossible for the returner to forge any break chances.
Fans on the sun-drenched center court had to wait 11 games to see the first break point when Kohlschreiber fired a stunning return. However, he failed to convert it and the set went to the tiebreak.
