Karolina Pliskova ended CoCo Vandeweghe's brilliant week with a 7-6 (2), 6-4 win in the Stuttgart Open final on Sunday. The sixth-seeded Czech held her nerve at key times to win her first title of the season and her 10th overall in just under two hours. Pliskova, who fired 41 aces over four matches on her way to the final, added another 11 against Vandeweghe. Both held serve for the tiebreaker, where Pliskova responded to losing the first two points by winning seven straight. Vandeweghe broke in turn to prolong the suspense but the Czech successfully took her second chance to close out the game.
