Goerges stuns top seed Wozniacki to win Stuttgart title

Rank outsider Julia Goerges of Germany stunned world number one Caroline Wozniacki 7-6 6-3 on Sunday to win her first title of the year in front of an ecstatic home crowd.Goerges outplayed her opponent, winner of three titles already this year, on the fast indoor clay court, giving the Dane absolutely no chance of a title she has yet to win.
Goerges sank to her feet and then lay flat on the red clay as the crowd cheered.
Goerges pinned Wozniacki back from the start, playing the Dane's backhand constantly and forcing her into making errors.
The big-serving 22-year-old, ranked 32nd in the world, did not allow her 20-year-old opponent any chance to break and Wozniacki also struggled with Goerges's kicking serve.
With no break on either side the two went into a first-set tiebreak and the German opened up a 5-2 lead when Wozniacki put a crosscourt forehand into the net.
She grabbed the first set on her second opportunity when Wozniacki sent another forehand long.
In the second set, the confident Goerges upped the pressure and broke Wozniacki to open up a 3-0 gap.
Wozniacki, who has yet to win a grand slam, finally got her first break points at 3-1 but Goerges's forehand and a volley gave the German a 4-1 lead.
Goerges missed one match point at 5-2 but had two more in the next game, clinching the second title of her career with a powerful serve that the Dane failed to return.
