Katowice - Italian second seed Roberta Vinci won her eighth career singles title on Sunday when she beat top-seeded Czech Petra Kvitova 7-6 (7/2), 6-1 in the Katowice Open final.
The win for the Italian should move her to a career-high 12 when the new rankings are released on Monday.
"I played a really good game today," said Vinci.
"Petra was playing very well and very aggressively in the first set, but I stayed with her and won the tie-break, and things were better in the second set, probably because she was a little bit tired."
