Kerber’s Copenhagen Conquest
After a slow start to the week, Angelique Kerber found her best form and eventually went all the way to her second WTA title at the e-Boks Open. But there was more icing on the cake for the 24-year-old German…
- Her win over Caroline Wozniacki in the final was her fourth win in her last five matches against Top 10 players (she had never beaten a Top 10 player before February, but has gone 4-1 against the elite since then).
- She spoilt Wozniacki’s perfect record at her home tournament (the Dane was 14-0 in Copenhagen going into the final, before falling to Kerber).
- She improved to 11-0 in indoor matches this year (she won a Fed Cup match indoors, then went 5-0 to win Paris [Indoors] and 5-0 to win Copenhagen).
- Having saved two match points to beat countrywman Mona Barthel in the quarterfinals, she became the first player to save match point en route to a WTA title since last September (Chanelle Scheepers at Guangzhou).
- She has now reached the semifinals or better at eight of her last 14 WTA tournaments (a stretch dating back to Dallas last August).
- She rose from No.15 to her previous career-high of No.14 this week.
