Groth wins first WTA title Guangzhou, 19 September 2010 AFP Australia's Jarmila Groth on Sunday claimed her first WTA title with an easy 6-1 6-4 victory over Russia's Alla Kudryavtseva at the Guangzhou Open in southern China. The 23-year-old Groth powered 11 aces past Kudryavtseva to claim the USD$37,000 (AUD$40,000) winner's cheque. She also got revenge for the loss to the Russian in their previous meeting at Indian Wells in 2008. The Australian - who was the tournament's top seed - easily lived up to her billing, breezing through the draw without dropping a set and surrendering just five games or less per match. She broke Kudryavtseva's serve five times en route to the title. The 22-year-old Russian was making her first career appearance in a WTA final. 澳洲選手Jarmila Groth，在周日以輕鬆的直落二，奪得她生涯第一個WTA賽事冠軍， 23歲的她，全場發出11顆ACE球，拿走了37000美元支票。她同時也為自己爭了口氣， 因為她曾在2008年的印地安泉賽事，輸給這位俄羅斯對手-Alla Kudryavtseva。 Groth一共破了她的發球局五次，粉碎了這位22歲俄國選手奪冠的美夢。 Groth, a native of Slovakia who took Australian citizenship last year after marrying ATP player Sam Groth, is currently the world number 55 and is projected to crack the WTA's top 50 when the new rankings are published Monday. "It's very exciting to finally get inside the Top 50," Groth said before playing her maiden tour final. "I've had injuries and every time I got close in the past, I couldn't play." She's having her best season since joining the tour in 2005, with round of 16 appearances at both the French Open and Wimbledon. At the US Open, she fell in the first round to three-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova, letting a golden opportunity slip away after claiming the first set from the Russian, who won at Flushing Meadows in 2006. Groth是一位斯洛伐克人，在去年因嫁給了澳洲選手Sam Groth，而取得澳洲公民身分， 目前她的排名在WTA第55位，預計在下周一會進到前50位。 她在決賽前表示，"我很開心能進到世界前50名，以前當我越接近這個目標時，傷痛 就會來困擾我，讓我不得不停止打球。" 自從她在2005年開始打巡迴賽後，已在法網和溫網晉級過16強，但在今年美網， 她於首輪遭遇了坐擁三個大滿貫冠軍的選手莎拉波娃，這場比賽她先拿下第一盤， 但最終仍輸給這位曾於2006美網奪冠的俄國人，無緣角逐冠軍頭銜。 來源:http://tinyurl.com/2623med 最後一段新聞其實有點多餘.... 恭喜Groth突破生涯的低潮!! 開心地享受勝利的果實吧!!
