BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Sabine Lisicki beat fourth-seeded Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 6-3, 6-2 to win the Aegon Classic on Monday.
The 21-year-old German, whose only previous tour victory was in Charleston in 2007, won after the final had been postponed from Sunday due to rain.
Monday’s victory in the grass-court event comes a week before the start of Wimbledon, where Lisicki reached the quarterfinals in 2009.
