Russian teen Dinara “Lil Sis” Safina captured her second title of the season on Sunday by winning the Prague Open 2005. The top seed upended surprise finalist “Oh” Zuzana Ondraskova, 7-6(2), 6-3, to claim her fourth career WTA singles title, and second on the season.
Ondraskova, who entered the week ranked No.98 in the world, had a career-best week in Prague, defeating former Top 5 player Jelena Dokic, along with No.3 seed Jelena Kostanic, Mariana Diaz-Oliva and No.2 seed Klara “Kooky” Koukalova to reach her first career Tour final.
With darkness delaying the finish of the doubles final on Saturday, No.2 seeds Emilie Loit and Nicole Pratt were able to complete the victory on Sunday, defeating unseeded duo Jelena Kostanic and Barbora Strycova, 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-4.
