Tennis: Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova first WTA title

  Russian Tennis teenager Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova claimed her first WTA title over the weekend after battling back to win her second match of the day.

The 18-year-old needed 1hr 40min to see off experienced Slovak second seed Daniela Hantuchova 1-6, 6-1, 6-0 in the final.

Pavlyuchenkova, the third seed, was earlier taken to a three setter by Latvian Anastasija Sevastova in her semi-final which had to be played on Sunday after rain washed out much of Saturday's play.
