AUCKLAND, New Zealand
sloane stephens did double duty at the asb clasic on Saturday, completing a semifinal victory over wozniacki and then defeating Goerges for the title.
Stephens was leading Wozniacki 5-2 in the first set when rain stopped play on Friday, and when they resumed play on Saturday morning the American held on, edging the No.3-seeded Dane, 6-2, 7-6(3).
And she continued her winning ways later in the day in the final - Stephens, the No.5 seed, reeled off nine of 11 games from 4-5 in the opening set to run away with it against Goerges, 7-5, 6-2.
She held all 10 of her service games in the match, fighting off the only two break points she faced.
"You can never prepare for playing a set and then rain, then finishing the match the next morning and coming back again in the afternoon. You just have to keep going and do your best," Stephens said.
