(Reuters) - France's Alize Cornet thrashed an error-prone Eugenie Bouchard 6-1 6-2 to win the Hobart International title on Saturday, bringing the Canadian former Wimbledon semi-finalist's nascent resurgence to a shuddering halt.
Cornet dominated the contest on a blustery day in Tasmania, winning the first set at a canter after an early exchange of breaks and rattling off six straight games in the second to secure her fifth WTA title.
"I was just focused on what I had to do, the wind didn't make it easy for either of us," the world number 42 said after the trophy presentation.
