Czech breaks through to claim first WTA Tour title

Czech sixth seed Linda Noskova has claimed her first WTA Tour title, winning the Monterrey Open final in straight sets over New Zealander Lulu Sun.

Noskova avenged a straight-sets loss to Sun last week in the first round of the Cincinnati Open, this time beating the Kiwi 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 at Sonoma Club on Saturday night (local time).

The 19-year-old Czech, an *********** Open quarter-finalist in January, starts her US Open campaign on Tuesday (local time) against 30th-seeded Kazakhstani Yulia Putintseva.

The 23-year-old Sun, now representing her native New Zealand after playing for Switzerland, missed a chance to claim her first tour title.

The Wimbledon quarter-finalist kicks off her US Open quest on Monday against Italian Lucia Bronzetti.

Earlier, Hanyu Guo of China and Monica Niculescu of Romania won the doubles title, beating top-seeded Giuliana Olmos of Mexico and Alexandra Panova of Russia 3-6 6-3 10-4.
