Svetlana Kuznetsova wins Pilot Pen
Svetlana Kuznetsova won her first title this season when qualifier Agnes Szavay retired with a back injury Saturday while leading 6-4, 0-3 at the Pilot Pen.
Szavay led 5-3 in the first set when Kuznetsova hit a crosscourt shot. Running for backhand, the Hungarian reached back to return the shot and immediately grabbed her back.
She took a medical timeout during the next changeover, and received more treatment between sets. But it became clear after three games of the second set that she could not continue.
