Danish teenager lands sixth career win in New Haven

Caroline Wozniacki successfully defended her WTA Pilot Pen title in New Haven with a 6-2 6-4 victory over Elena Vesnina of Russia. The Dane won her sixth career title and her third of the season against Vesnina, converting four of 11 break points to clinch success in an hour and 16 minutes. The 19-year-old was unseeded when she won the title 12 months ago but is already ninth in the world rankings and backed up her position as second seed this time around. "Now it's my time," said Wozniacki, who has also lost in four finals this season. "It's my turn to win some tournaments. I just feel I've had a great year. I'm so happy that it's my name coming up a lot of times now. "It's really surprised me how fast everything has been going and that I'm right now eight or nine in the world. "That's just amazing at age of 19, being one of the youngest players out there. Yeah, I mean, it's what I've been working for so hard. I'm happy everything is going my way." Wozniacki kicks off her US Open campaign next week against Galina Voskoboeva.
