-

Aged just 17, Marketa Vondrousov­a won her first WTA Tour title on Sunday, beating Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 6-4, 7-6 (6) in the Biel Ladies Open final. Vondrousov­a, from the Czech Republic, won her first tour title hours after the 36-yearold Francesca Schiavone was the other WTA tournament winner in Bogota, Colombia. Schiavone played in WTA events in her native Italy before Vondrousov­a was born in June 1999. Meanwhile, Borna Coric of Croatia claimed his first ATP Tour title on Sunday after saving five match points to defeat German veteran Philipp Kohlschrei­ber 5-7, 7-6 (3), 7-5 in the Grand Prix Hassan II final.
