(Reuters) - Diana Shnaider won her first WTA title on grass, beating Donna Vekic 6-3 2-6 6-3 in the final of the Bad Homburg Open on Saturday, days before her first appearance in a Wimbledon singles main draw.
A thrilling first set saw Russia's Shnaider make a clinical start to go 3-1 up before Croatian Vekic's powerful returns made her work hard to hold every serve.
