Lucie safarova return at the j & t banka Prague open 2016

PRAGUE, Czech Republic 
Lucie safarova returned to winning ways by battling past mariana duque-Mariño at the j & t banka Prague open on Tuesday afternoon.

Since returning from the bacterial infection that blighted the end of her 2015 campaign and forced her to skip the australian open, Safarova has found wins hard to come by. In fact, the Czech had fallen at the first hurdle at all five tournaments since making her comeback.
