CARLSBAD, California (Reuters) - Australia's Sam Stosur won her first title in nearly two years when she upended world number two Victoria Azarenka 6-3 6-2 to win the Carlsbad Open on Sunday.

In registering her first victory over the Belarussian in nine attempts, Stosur played an opportunistic and clutch contest, fighting off 11 of 12 break points while breaking Azarenka in every game she had the chance to do so.
