STRASBOURG: Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia claimed her second WTA title by beating veteran Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in straight sets in the Strasbourg final on Sunday. World number 55 Garcia had not even reached a quarter-final since February, but she saw off former Wimbledon semi-finalist Lucic-Baroni with relative ease after an opening set that saw five breaks of serve. The home player lost just three points on her serve as she raced through the second set, beating her Croatian opponent 6-4, 6-1 in an hour and a quarter. Lucic-Baroni last reached the final in Strasbourg 19 years ago when she was defeated by Steffi Graf.
