Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova wins two matches in one day to grab her first WTA title, defeating Anastaija Sevastova 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 in a semifinal delayed by rain and then defeating Daniela Hantuchova 1-6, 6-1, 6-0 in the final.
"She really played unbelievable. I was always under pressure," said Hantuchova.
The 18-year-old has moved up to No. 25, and is currently the youngest player in top 30. However, she will have significant points to defend beginning this week at Indian Wells after reaching the semis there last year.
