19 July 2015 06:16

Anna Karolina Schmiedlova claimed her second WTA title by beating Sara Errani to take the Bucharest Open honours.

Schmiedlova won 7-6 (7/3) 6-3 in two hours and seven minutes as the Slovakian avenged her defeat to former French Open finalist Errani at the Rio Open in February.

It was her second tour title after beating Camila Giorgi on the indoor hard courts of Katowice in Poland earlier this year.

Schmiedlova, the number seven seed, took a marathon first set in a tie-break and then broke away from Errani at three-all in the second to close out the match.
