Annika Beck ended Mirjana Lucic-Baroni's defense of her Coupe Banque Nationale 2015

Annika Beck ended Mirjana Lucic-Baroni's defense of her Coupe Banque Nationale title with a topsy-turvy semifinal victory on Saturday afternoon



In the previous round, Lucic-Baroni snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Samantha Crawford, and she briefly looked like staging even more improbable comeback against Beck. However, it was not to be, as Beck withstood a late surge to triumph, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. After splitting the first two sets, Beck surged ahead in the decider only to stumble with the finishing line in sight. Leading 5-2, Beck was broken before steadying herself to serve out at the second time of asking to love.
