Nadia Petrova stunned top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-1 to win the Tournament of Champions on Sunday, clinching her third WTA title of the year.The second-seeded Russian broke Wozniacki twice in each set, taking control from the beginning through her booming serve and groundstrokes.Petrova says it was a great way to finish the season by winning the title in Sofia, and the doubles in Istanbul after a first win in the past five matches against Wozniacki.The Russian, who also won titles in the Netherlands and Japan this year, will rise one spot to 12th when the WTA rankings are released Monday.
