Russian Bovina defeats Dechy to clinch WTA trophy
NEW HAVEN (Connecticut): Seventh-seeded Russian Elena Bovina ended a two year drought when she defeated Nathalie Dechy, of France, 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, here Saturday in the final of the WTA tournament.
Bovina broke Dechy, the eighth seed, in the 12th. game of the third set to close out the match and earn the $93,000 first prize. It was her third WTA tour title and first since Quebec City in 2002. “It’s been an amazing week for me,” Bovina said. “I never thought one time that I could win the tournament. It’s not that I didn’t believe in myself, it’s just I was playing every day, day after day, match after match, that I never even thought of myself getting to the final.” afp
