LUXEMBOURG -- Unseeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland has won her first WTA Tour title, beating sixth-seeded Sabine Lisicki of Germany 6-2, 7-5 in the Luxembourg Open final.

The 70th ranked Bacsinszky won the battle of the 20-year-olds Sunday with her fourth upset victory this week by beating a player 42 places ahead of her in the rankings.

In the semifinals, she had upset fifth-seeded Yanina Wickmayer, ending the Belgian's eight-match winning streak.

Lisicki was looking for her second WTA win this year in the wake of her first career title at Charleston in April.
