LUXEMBOURG (AP) Julia Goerges lived up to her top seeding at the Luxembourg Open by winning her second title of the year on Saturday.
Goerges beat unseeded Belinda Bencic of Switzerland 6-4, 7-5 in the final.
The German won her first tournament of the year in Auckland, reached another final at Charleston in April, and the Wimbledon semifinals. This is her sixth career title. She lost the 2010 final here.
She's at a career-high ranking of No. 9.
Bencic, who has been ranked as high as No. 7, was eyeing her first title in more than three years.
