Marie Bouzkova has added a grass-court title to her tennis resume, defeating Emma Navarro in a hard-fought three-set final at the Nottingham Open in the United Kingdom on Sunday.
The fourth-seeded player from the Czech Republic took the match 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-3 over third-seeded Navarro, with the contest wrapping up just three minutes short of the three-hour mark.
Bouzkova battled through an ankle injury during the match and delivered four aces on her way to the win. It was her first career title on grass and her fourth singles title overall, following a victory earlier this season in April on red clay in Bogota.
Navarro put up a strong fight, serving up 10 aces of her own and successfully converting 10 of 14 break points, but it was not enough to overcome Bouzkova in the end.
