Myskina bags first title of year in Kolkata Open
Monday, September 26, 2005 | AY
Russian top seed Anastasia Myskina ended her 2005 title drought by crushing Croatian Karolina Sprem in the Kolkata Open final on Sunday. The 2004 French Open champion beat her seventh seeded opponent 6-2 6-2, capping an impressive week without dropping a set. Myskina, the world number 12, raced to a 4-0 lead in the first set before Sprem broke back in the fifth game to edge to 2-4, but the fightback was all too brief. The Russian began the second set nervously to fall back 2-1 as neither managed to hold serve in the first four games. Myskina, who last year became Russia's first woman grand slam singles champion, was thrilled to secure her first title of the season.
