Quebec City, QC – Third-seeded Lucie Safarova rolled to a straight-set victory over Marina Erakovic on Sunday to take the title at the $235,000 Bell Challenge tennis tournament.
Safarova of the Czech Republic didn't have much trouble in securing her first title since 2008 with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over New Zealand's Erakovic.
In winning her first tournament since Forest Hills in 2008, Safarova notched her fifth WTA title and snapped a streak of five straight losses in finals, which included a defeat at this tournament in 2009.
Erakovic was looking to capture his second title of the year, as the first of her career came at Memphis earlier this year.
