Bacsinszky rekindles clay love with Rabat tennis title

RABAT - Timea Bacsinszky clinched her first title of 2016 on Saturday with a straight sets win over Marina Erakovic in the Rabat final in a timely boost ahead of the French Open where she was a semi-finalist last year.

The top-seeded Swiss star cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 win over her New Zealand opponent after a week which saw her lose just one set in five matches at the Moroccan claycourt event.

It was Bacsinszky's first title on red clay with all three of her previous tournament victories coming on hardcourts.
