The two-time major champion saved four championships points in the second set to defeat seventh seeded Donna Vekic 4-6, 7-6(7), 6-2 on Sunday at the Citi Open tournament in Washington, D.C.

Earlier in the day, in the men’s tournament, Alexander Zverev repeated his title run from last year when he defeated Australian teenager Alex de Minaur 6-2, 6-4.

“It’s quite funny, because this final could be the final of the next 15 years, so I hope you guys all enjoyed it,” the top seed Zverev said during the trophy presentation.

For the 21-year-old German, this is his 9th career title.
