World No 1 Caroline Wozniacki claimed her 14th career title, outlasting France's Marion Bartoli 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 in the WTA Indian Wells final on Sunday. Denmark's Wozniacki captured her second title of 2011 and becomes the eighth different women's champion in eight years at the $4.5 million WTA hardcourt tournament.
Wozniacki broke Bartoli's serve three times in the final set and clinched the victory on the second match point when the Frenchwoman hit a two-handed backhand long. The 20-year-old Wozniacki has been playing some of the best tennis of her career the past few months, having taken two of her past three tournaments after winning last month in Dubai. She also reached the final in Doha. The victory was one of the biggest in Wozniacki's career.
