Karin Knapp is fighting for her second WTA title today

At the “Nuremberg Insurance Cup” in the Franconian metropolis (prize money of $226.750) this Saturday at 14 p.m. she will face her fourth-seeded compatriot Roberta Vinci, who is ranked 42nd in the WTA rankings. In the direct balance, Knapp is ahead by a wafer-thin margin. She has won three of the five previous duels, including the last direct meeting to date at the end of April in the round of 6 of the WTA tournament in Marrakesh (7:3(6), 2:6, 2:XNUMX).

The South Tyrolean is in the final of a WTA tournament for the third time today. She reached the finals for the first time in 2008 in Antwerp. There, however, she had to give way to the then world number one Justine Henin (3:6, 3:6). In September of last year, however, she defeated Bojana Jovanovski 6:2, 7:6 in Tashkent and thus celebrated her first tournament victory on the WTA tour. Today Knapp fights against her compatriot Vinci for her second title.
