Caroline Wozniacki, who won the first two games against Svetlana Kuznetsova on Saturday when rain stopped play, finally on Monday, after two days of raining, completed a 62 63 win over Kuznetsova then defeated Vera Zvonareva, 63 62 to win Rogers Cup in Montreal.
"I was only thinking about one match at a time and one point at a time, to be honest," Wozniacki said. "This was such a huge tournament and almost all the top players were playing, so it's a great feeling for me to leave here as a winner. I was very happy there were so many people watching today and the weather turned out great - it was nice to have such a fantastic atmosphere."
Zvonareva, who played her semifinal on the National Bank Court, a smaller venue adjacent to Centre Court, said: "It was a different court, different conditions," she said. "It was difficult to keep my concentration. I was preparing to play Victoria for two days and they have absolutely different styles. In the final, I was still playing shots I would use in the semifinals. My head was not in the final."
In the doubles final, Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta claimed their Sony Ericsson WTA Tour-leading fifth title of the year on Sunday evening, saving a match point to beat Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik.
"I'm very happy we won this match. It was a tough match," Dulko said. "As you can see from the score, it was really tight. I'm so happy to win another tournament with Flavia. It's unbelievable. We surprise ourselves every week."
