Kerber stuns Wozniacki

HOME favorite Angelique Kerber rallied to upset Caroline Wozniacki 3-6, 6-1, 7-5 in the final of the Porsche Grand Prix for her second straight title yesterday. The fourth-seeded Wozniacki saved three match points at 6-5 in the third set, but Kerber took her fourth chance to win in 2 hours, 4 minutes. It’s the fifth WTA title — the first at home — for the 14th-ranked German, who also won at Charleston this month. The 27-year-old Kerber had earlier upset three-time defending champion Maria Sharapova in Stuttgart. Wozniacki lost the 2011 final to another German, Julia Goerges. She claimed her 23rd title in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last month.
