BAD HOMBURG, Germany (AP) — Diana Shnaider won her second WTA singles title this year in her Bad Homburg Open debut when she beat Donna Vekic, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3, in the final on Saturday.
In a final of unseeded players, Shnaider took four of her six break chances, and saved 10 of 13 against Vekic of Croatia.
Shnaider won her maiden tour title at Hua Hin in February.
The 20-year-old Russian started the grass tournament at a career-high ranking of 47, and will rise to 30 on Monday.
She’s drawn 2021 runner-up Karolina Pliskova in the Wimbledon first round. Vekic has drawn Wang Xiyu.
