Bacsinszky wins Luxembourg Open



Unseeded Timea Bacsinszky overcame a ranking deficit of 42 places to defeat Sabine Lisicki in straight sets and clinch the BGL Luxembourg Open.

The Swiss player produced a mixed display with a combination of three aces and four double faults but she had more success on her serve and inflicted a 6-2 7-5 defeat on her fellow 20-year-old.

The victory, achieved in just under one and a half hours, is the high point of a successful season for Bacsinszky after she reached! finals in both Prague and Istanbul.
