(Reuters) - Serbian teenager Olga Danilovic became the first player born in 2000s to win a WTA title, defeating fellow 17-year-old Anastasia Potapova 7-5 6-7(1) 6-4 in the Moscow River Cup final on Sunday.

Having squandered an opportunity to close out the match in the second set, Danilovic was forced to recover from a break down in the decider as she became the first lucky loser to win a WTA title.
