LINZ, Austria -- Top-seeded Angelique Kerber won her first WTA title of the season and third overall by defeating two-time former champion Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 7-6 (6) at the Generali Ladies on Sunday. It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. "This is an incredible feeling," said Kerber, who qualified for the season-ending WTA Championships by reaching the semifinals this week. "This victory means a lot to me. I will go to the masters with lots of confidence now." Kerber didnt initially intend to play in Linz but was given a late wildcard entry to replace Kvitova after the former Wimbledon champion pulled out with a back injury. The former top-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, appeared in her first final since winning her 11th career title in Bali, Indonesia, in November 2011. "It was a real close final," said Kerber, who missed three match points at 5-3 in the second set. "I became a bit twitchy toward the end. My thoughts were elsewhere during these match points. Later I managed to focus on each point again." Ivanovic battled back from two breaks down to level at 4-4 in the opening set before dropping her serve for a third time. The third-seeded Serb made another comeback in the second set. After denying Kerber victory at 5-3, she missed two set points while leading 6-5 and two more in the tiebreaker as the German reeled off four straight points to close out the victory. "I was too passive and didnt find my rhythm," Ivanovic said. "I got my chances but I couldnt take them." Jordan Morris Jersey .

On Leafs Breakfast on TSN Radio 1050 on Thursday, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger said believes that Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri is available in trade discussions, but that the club is not eager to move him because of their weakness at the centre position. "I have been told bluntly by Dave Nonis that he needs a centre in return," Dreger said. "Who is going to give you a better centre for one they think might develop into a better centre? "This one is going to be crafty.dddddddddddd. I do think he gets moved this year, but its going to be a delicate one." Net Market On NHL Network on Wednesday, Dreger added that he didnt believe the Carolina Hurricanes are actively shopping goaltender Cam Ward - but they could be intrigued by the possibility and it could take a significant offer to convince the team to move him. He also said that Michal Neuvirth could be the odd man out with the Washington Capitals, but general manager George McPhee isnt calling around trying to move him. Status Quo On Erat? Chuck Gormley of Comcast SportsNet in Washington writes that Capitals winger Martin Erat has been scratched for a fourth straight game and his agent is still talking with McPhee about a deal, but nothing has changed in Erats desire to be traded.
