Vaidisova Stops Peng for Strasbourg Title

It was the sixth career title for the No. 2-seeded Vaidisova, and the first career final for Peng.

"I had to cut down on my errors to get back on track," said Vaidisova, who trailed 0-3 in the first set. "She had a couple of chances in the tiebreak to take the set but I was luckier. We were both nervous. I was up 3-0 in the second set and I let that get away from me, but managed to pull it out in the end."

The teen also won a Mazda MX-5 sports car along with the prize check.

"I'm really happy to win the car but I don't start driving lessons for another couple of months," Vaidisova said.

For Peng the final was an achievement after two weeks ago winning back-to-back matches for the first time all year.

"I reached my first final and that is a good thing," Peng said. "Now I will forget about this loss and concentrate on the Grand Slams. I start in Paris on Monday, so I have to just rest and start to focus on that. I had a good week here."

In the doubles final top seeds Liezel Huber and Martina Navratilova beat No. 3 seeds Martina Muller and Andreea Vanc 6-2, 7-6(1) for their first title of the year as a team.
