Bangkok, October 15:

American teenager Vania King rallied to beat Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday to win the Bangkok Open and her first WTA title. The 17-year-old King used aggressive groundstrokes and came back from trailing 2-4 in the third set to win her first trophy in her maiden final appearance. She is the first 17-year-old from the United States to win a WTA title since Serena Williams won the US Open in 1999.

Only Roger Federer (nine) and Rafael Nadal (five) have won more. Blake is unbeaten in 10 matches in the Stockholm Open. He won the tournament in his first appearance in the Swedish capital last year.
