COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark won her second straight Sony Ericsson Open title Sunday, beating fourth-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-4 in the final.

Wozniacki did not lose a set all week in Copenhagen, and the 20-year-old Dane dominated from start to finish to claim her fifth WTA title of the year in front of a sellout home crowd at the Farum Arena.

The 38th-ranked Safarova converted her only break point in the match to even the second set at 2-2, but Wozniacki sealed the win in 1 hour, 7 minutes.

Wozniacki has won 17 WTA titles in her career.
