(Reuters) - Sixth seed Maria Sharapova fought back from a set and a break down to beat Ana Ivanovic 3-6 6-4 6-1 and win her third consecutive Stuttgart title on Sunday.

Former world number one Ivanovic raced to a 5-0 lead before taking the first set and breaking early in the second as the Serbian seemed set for victory. Sharapova, however, had other ideas and took 11 of the final 13 games.
