Upset in German finals
Qualifier Liudmila Samsonova completed a remarkable week by beating Belinda Bencic 1- 6, 6-1, 6-3 to win the German Open in Berlin on Sunday. Samsonova rallied after losing the opening set and hit 14 aces to on her way to her first ATP Tour title at the grass-court Wimbledon warm-up tournament. The 106th- ranked Russian came through two rounds of qualifying and pulled off major upsets on her way as she ousted two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka in the semifinal after eliminating two former Grand Slam finalists, Madison Keys and Marketa Vondrousova, in earlier rounds.
