Sorana Cirstea claimed her first WTA singles title on Sunday with a battling win 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) over Germany's Sabine Lisicki in the final of the Tashkent Open.

"Breaking her in the first game of the second set was the turning point of the match," said Cirstea, "I thought now or never, and just went for it. From then I just went for my strokes. Staying tough in the important moments of the match really helped me, and I hope to continue this form at tournaments in the coming weeks."

"I'll cherish the title in Tashkent forever as it is my first title; I was desperate to take my first title!" Cirstea added. "I've been improving a lot since my first final, and I'm looking for many more titles. I'm also extremely happy to wear the traditional Uzbek dress, which has become the trademark of this event."

The 18-year-old Sorana had played just one previous final, losing to Gisela Dulko in Budapest last year.
