PATTAYA: Israeli teenager Shahar Peer claimed her first WTA title with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Jelena Kostanic of Croatia in a rain-affected Pattaya Women's Open final here on Sunday. The fourth-seeded Peer, 18, recovered from a slow start to beat an off-form Kostanic at the Dusit Resort Hotel after a 90-minute delay caused by an unexpected downpour. Kostanic, whose previous best result at a WTA tournament was runner up at Helsinki in 2003, got off to a flying start and used her net attack and flat forehands to go up 3-0 in the first set. But Peer then settled down, saving a break point to hold her game for the first time at 1-3. She then turned the match around by playing aggressively as Kostanic was overwhelmed with errors. "I was trailing 0-3 but after that it was like God wanted me to win. I changed my game, became more aggressive and used some tactics and made her hit more shots," said Peer. — AP
