Anna Chakvetadze records her first win in 2 years.
by bahamaderek on Jul.25, 2010, under Anna Chakvetadze, Johanna Larsson
Anna Chakvetadze cruised to a straight sets victory over Johanna Larsson to claim the Slovenia Open crown on Sunday.
The Russian took little over an hour to sweep past Sweden’s Larsson 6-1 6-2 in a rain-delayed final at Portoroz
It is the first title since 2008 for Chakvetadze, who has slipped from the top five to number 103 in the rankings.
Larsson briefly threatened an unlikely comeback towards the end of the match when she had three break points just after claiming her third game.
But Chakvetadze kept her cool to end Larsson’s dreams of a maiden victory in her first WTA final.
