Kerber takes down Wozniacki for Copenhagen crown

Copenhagen, Denmark – Angelique Kerber took down two-time defending champion Caroline Wozniacki in Sunday's final at the e-Boks Open.

The second-seeded Kerber of Germany beat top-seeded Wozniacki 6-4, 6-4 in 98 minutes.

Wozniacki, who grew up in nearby Odense, came into Sunday's match with a 14-0 all-time record at her home event. She won the title in 2010 and 2011.

The former world No. 1 also hadn't dropped a set in her four matches leading up to the final.

Kerber captured her second career title. She won the Paris Indoors back in February and is now 2-1 all-time in finals.

Wozniacki played in her first final of 2012 after appearing in eight title matches last year. She fell to 18-11 lifetime in finals.

Wozniacki won the only two previous meetings with Kerber, including a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 triumph in the second round of this event last year. The only other matchup ended with a 6-3, 6-4 Wozniacki victory four years ago in Stockholm.

Kerber took home $37,000 with the victory.
