KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Second-seeded Elina Svitolina came back to beat Canada's Eugenie Bouchard 6-7 (5), 6-4, 7-5 in the rain interrupted Malaysian Open final on Sunday.
The match finished at midnight local time as rain interrupted play for well over three hours before the 21-year-old won out.
Bouchard and Svitolina were on court for 2 hours 53 minutes between the three rain interruptions before the Ukrainian got a crucial break late in the decisive set to clinch the title.
Svitolina lost the first set in a tight tie-breaker and Bouchard couldn't capitalize on early breaks in the second set.
