Hantuchova blown away in Birmingham

Unseeded German Sabine Lisicki upset the odds again as she lifted the AEGON Classic title in Birmingham. Lisicki had already toppled the third seed Shuai Peng of China to reach the final in the midlands. And she continued her good run by overpowering Daniela Hantuchova, seeded fourth, 6-3 6-2 in the rain-delayed final. The 21-year-old, currently ranked 100th in the world, broke Hantuchova once in the opening set and then twice again to seal her second WTA Tour title.
