SOFIA: Russia’s Nadia Petrova thrashed top-seeded Dane Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-1 on Sunday to secure her maiden Tournament of Champions trophy and a 13th career title.

Winning the season-ending WTA event at the Armeets Arena in Sofia earned second-seed Petrova a cheque for $270,000 and helped her rise one place in the world rankings to 12th.

“It’s a great way to finish the season,” said Petrova. Wozniacki began 2012 as the world number one but endured a mediocre season and had to wait until September to land her first trophy of the year at the Korea Open.

“I tried to show my best tennis but Nadia was very strong,” said Wozniacki. “She served excellently and didn’t give me a chance.”
