Dokic beats Safarova to win Malaysian Open

Published Mar 07, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Australia's Jelena Dokic beat Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 2-6, 7-6 (9), 6-4 in the Malaysian Open on Sunday to earn her sixth career WTA singles title after a nine-year drought.

Dokic needed 2 hours, 40 minutes to claim her first WTA singles championship since June 2002. The Croatian-born Dokic drifted away from the WTA tour from 2004 to '08. She's ranked 91st after a high of No. 4.
