With a roof over her head, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova continues to put the lid on the competition.
Neither leg issues nor Anna-Lena Friedsam could stop Pavlyuchenkova from completing her title run in Linz—and extending her indoor winning streak.

The seventh-seeded Pavlyuchenkova posted a 6-4, 6-3 victory in the Generali Ladiez Linz final to collect her first title of the season and eighth of her career.
Pavlyuchenkova, who took the court with her left thigh taped and later had her right leg wrapped with tape, extended her indoor winning streak to 15 matches.
The seventh-seeded Russian dropped just one set in five tournaments wins this week. It's Pavlyuchenkova's third straight indoor championship following title runs in Paris and Moscow last season.
