Stefanie Voegele and Michal Przysiezny stole the show at the Dunlop World Challenge 2012 – Tennis News

Third seeded Stefanie Voegele warded off early resistance to outclass Kimiko Date-Krumm and capture the title at this ITF (International Tennis Federation) Women’s Circuit in Aichi, Japan. Elsewhere at the Dunlop World Challenge, Poland’s Michal Przysiezny stunned fifth seeded Hiroki Moriya in straight sets to grab the title.

The Swiss challenger hammered eight aces to prevail. She warded off early resistance to outsmart the 42-year-old in one hour and 44 minutes.

Both contenders exchanged two serve breaks and dragged the opening set to a tie-breaker. However, Voegele unveiled her true class in it and eventually sealed the opener with a 7-6(3) win.

The Swiss starlet kept momentum rolling in the following set. She lost her serve once but capitalised on two out of three break chances to carve out the victory with a 6-4 score line.

Overall, she clobbered a lower first serve share of 59 per cent as compared to the ever green local legend Date-Krumm’s 74 per cent. However, the Swiss impressively marked 32 out of 47 points on it and ruled throughout the battle.
