Annika Beck conquers Quebec City 2015. Coupe Banque Nationale


QUÉBEC CITY, Canada 
Up against a fellow WTA Rising Star playing her first WTA final, No.5 seed Annika Beck remained calm through a clinical 6-2, 6-2 victory to capture her second career title at the Coupe Banque Nationale. 

 Ostapenko had beaten Beck in their two prior encounters (both in 2015) and started the stronger of the two, winning five of the first six points to lead by an early service break. But Beck was undeterred, breaking straight back and, despite facing break points in the seventh game of the opening set, never lost serve again in the 53 minute, straight-set win. The 21-year-old German upset defending champion and No.2 seed Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in three long sets in the semifinals, but showed no ill-effects against Ostapenko, who is guaranteed to crack the Top 100 for the first time in her career on Monday's rankings.
