Unseeded Italian Martina Trevisan crushed Claire Liu 6-2, 6-1 on Saturday to capture her maiden WTA Tour title at the Morocco Open in Rabat.
Trevisan, 28, saved nine of 10 break points during a 92-minute match that pitted the world’s No. 85-ranked player against Liu, an American who is ranked No. 92.
The clay-court WTA 250 final began with the players exchanging service breaks, but Trevisan held serve the rest of the way. Liu fought off four set points in the first set before succumbing.
