Martic shines in Switzerland with Ladies Open Lausanne triumph over Danilovic

Petra Martic has continued her resurgence sealing a second career WTA singles title defeating Olga Danilovic, a Serbian qualifier in the final of Ladies Open Lausanne in Switzerland.

Martic only won back-to-back matches twice before Wimbledon but has continued the form that saw her reach the fourth round in London back onto clay losing to eventual champion Elena Rybakina on that occasion.

But this week, it was five wins in the Swiss alps and will see the former top 15 player back into the top 60 in next week's rankings.

Beating three seeded players en route to sealing the title in Nuria Parrizas Diaz, Belinda Bencic and Caroline Garcia saw her set up a final clash.

This was a simple assignment as she sealed it 6-4, 6-2 needing just 89 minutes to do so surging away after a tight opening few games winning nine of the last 11 games to seal the match. It adds to victory in Istanbul also on clay.
