BAD GASTEIN, Austria — Samantha Stosur rallied to defeat third-seeded Karin Knapp of Italy 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2 in the final of the Gastein Ladies on Sunday.
It's the second title of the season and eighth overall for the 23rd-ranked Australian, who was seeded second. Stosur also won in Strasbourg in May.
The final was the second three-set match Knapp played Sunday after outlasting top-seeded Sara Errani 7-6 (4), 4-6, 7-5 in a semifinal moved from Saturday because of rain.
The 43rd-ranked Knapp was also seeking her second title of the season after winning in Nuremberg two months ago.
