Russian Pivovarova win her 9th ITF title

Xinhua, May 22, 2016 Adjust font size:

Russian Pivovarova Anastasia won her ninth ITF women's tennis tournament on Sunday.

The 25-year-old, ranked 231 in the world, beat Chinese Lu Jingjing 6-4, 6-4 in Zhengzhou, Henan province.

The fourth-seeded Lu had beaten two-time Grand Slam doubles champion Peng Shuai in the quarter-finals. Peng has been recovering from a serious back injury which forced her out of the 2015 French Open and sidelined her for the rest of the year.

Chinese duo Xun Fangying and You Xiaodi won the doubles title with a three-set victory over Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan and Michaela Honcova of Slovakia on Saturday. Enditem
