BALI, Indonesia(AP) Ana Ivanovic ended her season by returning to the top 20 by defeating Alisa Kleybanova of Russia 6-2, 7-6 (5) in the Tournament of Champions final.
The 23-year-old Serb captured her second title in three weeks to move back into the top 20 for the first time in more than a year, having dropped to a low of 65 in July.
Ivanovic won the first set easily, but the second was much closer, with a double-fault by Kleybanova in the tiebreaker proving the turning point.
Ivanovic claimed the No. 1 ranking in 2008 after winning her first Grand Slam tournament title at the French Open, but has struggled with her fitness and form since.
