Molik upsets Sharapova to win Swisscom
Australia's Alicia Molik beat Maria Sharapova 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 Sunday, snapping the Russian's 12-match winning streak and capturing the Swisscom Challenge title.
The 17-year-old Sharapova was looking for her third straight title, after winning in Seoul and Toyko, and the seventh of her career. It was her first loss in a final.
It was the third title of Molik's career, including a victory at Stockholm in August. Molik lost in straight sets to Sharapova at the DFS Classic in Birmingham, England, in June, the only other meeting between the two.
"We had a good match," Molik said to Sharapova following her victory. "I'm looking forward to more of these battles in the future." |
