NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) Aravane Rezai has won the
Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions after top-seeded Marion
Bartoli retired from the final with a thigh injury after losing the
first set 7-5.
Bartoli was up 4-2 on Sunday and then had a set point in the
ninth game before the 44th-ranked Rezai broke back to level at 5-5.
Bartoli then needed medical treatment on her left thigh in the
12th game. She continued to play but double-faulted to hand Rezai
the set and then retired.
It was Rezai's second title of the year after winning in
Strasbourg.
