Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark won her second straight Sony Ericsson Open title on 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 indoor Farum Arena.
“I’m so pleased to have won for the second year in a row,” Wozniacki said. “It’s a special feeling on my home court, but it wouldn’t have been quite so special without the support.”Wozniacki made a flawless start in the final, finding accurate forehand and backhand winners from all corners of the center court. The 38th-ranked Safarova, by contrast, had lost the first set all her matches in the tournament, and on Sunday she again started poorly in an error-strewn opening set.
