Wozniacki wins rain-delayed Rogers Cup

MONTREAL, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- World No. 2-ranked Caroline Wozniacki defeated Vera Zvonareva in straight sets Monday in claiming the rain-delayed Rogers Cup final in Montreal.

Wozniacki finished off a semifinal match she began Saturday against 11th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova, winning 6-2, 6-3, before beating Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 in the finals later in the day.

Wozniacki won a comfortable 58 percent of the points versus Zvonareva, losing her serve just once while breaking Zvonareva's serve twice in each set. It was the second tournament title in three weeks for Wozniacki and third championship of the year.

Wozniacki got two games in -- winning both -- in her scheduled Saturday semifinal before rains washed out play the rest of the day and all of Sunday. The semifinal between the eighth-seeded Zvonareva and 10th-seeded Victoria Azarenka didn't get started until Monday. UPI
