Elena Vesnina defeated her Russian compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova in the women's singles final to clinch the Indian Wells Masters on Sunday. The keenly contested encounter lasted more than three hours.
Vesnina, the World No. 15, fought back from the brink of defeat, down 1-4 in the second set, having lost the first via a tie-breaker.
"When I was down 4-1 in the second set, it seemed like so far away this title. Now I won it and I'm so, so happy. I was playing a bit more free when I was down in the score. I took my chances," Vesnina was quoted as saying by www.bnpparibasopen.com .
