Czech star triumphs in Quebec

Barbora Zahlavova Strycova defeated Marina Erakovic in the final of the Bell Challenge in Quebec to claim her first WTA title. The Czech sixth seed lost the opening set but stormed back to win 4-6 6-1 6-0 in just under two hours. Erakovic had already beaten top seed Daniela Hantuchova and third seed Tamira Paszek in previous rounds, but ran out of steam after taking the opening set with two breaks of serve. "It's funny because I came here without thinking of making the final, I thought I'd win one or two rounds and be happy," Zahlavova Strycova said. "I feel very relaxed here. My first matches went well and I'm happy how I've been playing."
