Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic came from a set down to win the Prague Open, overcoming Sam Stosur of Australia 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the final Saturday. Safarova broke Stosur for 4-3 in the final set and served out with her 14th ace to claim her seventh WTA title, and first in 14 months. "It was a big fight," Safarova said. "It's always tough against her. I was waiting for my chance and it came in the second set." Coming back from a bacterial infection last year, Safarova, the French Open runner-up last year, didn't win a singles title this season until this week in Prague, where she won five in a row. In the opening set, Stosur got a break for 2-0 and held on, saving one break point at 4-2 before serving it out. But she struggled with her serve in the remaining two sets, serving seven double faults. Almagro-Carreno Busta Estoril final In Portugal, clay-court specialist Nicolas Almagro defeated second-seeded Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 7-5 at the Estoril Open Saturday to reach his second final of the season. Almagro will face fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who upset third-seeded Benoit Paire of France 6-3, 6-3 in the other semifinal at the clay-court tournament. On Friday, Kyrgios dominated Borna Coric 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, while Almagro beat Argentine seventh seed Leonardo Mayer 6-4, 7-6 (7-5). At the top of the draw, Pablo Carreno Busta Friday prevented an all-French semifinal as he put out top seed Gilles Simon 6-3, 6-4. The upset sent eighth seed Carreno Busta into a match-up with French third seed Benoit Paire, a winner over Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2. Kohlschreiber bids for third ATP Munich title Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber will be bidding to win Munich's ATP tournament for the third time after blasting past Italy's Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-4 in Saturday's semifinal. In Sunday's final, Kohlschreiber, 32, who won the Munich title in 2007 and 2012 but lost to Britain's Andy Murray in last year's final, will face Austria's rising star Dominic Thiem, who is ranked 15th in the world, but on a rich vein of form. With 26 wins and two titles already this season, Thiem fought back from losing the first set in his semifinal to beat German teenager Alexander Zverev and seal a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 on clay in the Bavarian capital to end the run of his 19-year-old opponent. "The match was very special and I hope we'll play against each other again with the chance to win a title," said the 22-year-old Thiem, in the battle of two rising stars on the ATP tour. Kohlschreiber, ranked 27th in the world, has steam-rolled his way to his fifth Munich final after seeing off compatriot Florian Mayer, Juan Martin del Potro and Fogini en route.
