Wickmayer lands Linz title

Third seed Yanina Wickmayer won the Generali Ladies tournament in Linz after seeing off unseeded Czech Petra Kvitova in the final.

Kvitova’s serve let her down on the big occasion as, despite firing down five aces, she won only 53% of service points and allowed Wickmayer to break four times in nine attempts on her way to a 6-3 6-4 victory.
