Caroline is a great player, it was a tough match, and I showed all my skills here today,&#8221; Kerber was quoted as saying by Xinhua.<\/p>\n<p>The contest was closely fought from the start, but it was 24-year-old Kerber, ranked 15, who quickly went up 2-1 in the first set, and put pressure on the 21-year-old Wozniacki, ranked sixth.<\/p>\n<p>Wozniacki looked rattled and seemed to lose both concentration and rhythm, as Kerber pulled ahead 1-0 in the second set. The match stopped briefly after Wozniacki slipped and hurt her ankle while returning a volley, but she resumed with a bandaged foot and ankle.<\/p>\n<p>The pause helped Wozniacki rally her game, and she pulled ahead 4-1 in the second set, through some expert volleys and placement that sent Kerber racing around the centre court.<\/p>\n<p>But Kerber proved resilient, winning a series of break points and five straight games, to wrap up the second set 6-4.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I knew before the match that I had to give it 100 percent, and I did, and it was a good match played at a high level,&#8221; said Kerber.<\/p>\n<p>The victory brought Kerber her second WTA title overall. It is especially sweet for the German player who previously lost to Wozniacki in the quarter-finals here last year.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s defeat was a deep disappointment for Wozniacki who had cruised through the main draw, winning all her matches in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s other final match saw Kimiko Date-Krumm and Rika Fujiwara of Japan beat Sweden&#8217;s Sofia Arvidsson and Estonia&#8217;s Kaia Kanepi 6-2, 4-6, (10-5) to lift the doubles title. <strong>(IANS)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copenhagen: Former World No.1, Caroline Wozniacki saw her winning streak at the Danish Open come to an end as Angelique Kerber of Germany downed the Dane 6-4, 6-4 to clinch the title here.
