SOFIA, Bulgaria -- 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. "It was a great way to finish the season by winning the title in Sofia, and the doubles in Istanbul," Petrova said after a first win in the past five matches against Wozniacki. "I want to congratulate Caroline for her amazing performance this week." Wozniacki had a medical timeout during the second set and is looking forward to a break. "It did not go very well for me today. Now I will go on vacation to recharge the batteries for next season," she said. The 30-year-old 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. It was the 13th career victory for Petrova, who received a check for $270,000 (C210,000). The Tournament of Champions is the final event of the WTA calendar. It featured the six highest-ranked players who have won a title during the season but didnt qualify for the WTA Championships, along with two wild cards. The event in 2013 and 2014 will be held in Sofia. It was staged in Bali the previous three years. ray ban sunglasses discount . His team never recovered.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- After erasing what once appeared to be an insurmountable deficit, it has come down to this for the Oakland Athletics -- one game against the Texas Rangers to decide the AL West title. Travis Blackley allowed one run over six innings in a strong bounce-back performance that helped the As move into a first-place tie with Texas by beating the Rangers 3-1 Tuesday night. "As long as we believe inside this clubhouse and we know we can get it down, were going to do it. I honestly believe were going to win tomorrow," closer Grant Balfour said. "Nothing is guaranteed, but its about as good as. I believe we can go out and get it done." And who would doubt these rag-tag As after the remarkable run they have had to get to this point? A night after holding a raucous celebration after clinching their first playoff berth since 2006, the As erased the last piece of what had been a 13-game deficit in the division race on June 30 to take a share of first place for the first time since March 29. Blackley (6-4) gave up three hits and struck out five a week after the Rangers knocked him out with a five-run first inning in the shortest start of his career. He allowed only an RBI double to Josh Hamilton in his longest outing since July 24, just the latest surprising performance in an improbable season for the low-budget As. "I just went out there like I had nothing to lose and it worked out," Blackley said. Derek Norris gave Oakland the lead in the fifth with an RBI single that scored a second run when right fielder Nelson Cruz bobbled the ball in right field for an error. Jonny Gomes added a solo homer in the sixth and the bullpen did the rest in Oaklands fifth straight win. Sean Doolittle and Ryan Cook each pitched a scoreless inning and Balfour worked a perfect ninth for his 24th save in 26 chances. Balfour has three saves and a win in the last four days. The As will try to cap the comeback Wednesday in game No. 162 when A.J. Griffin (7-1) takes the mound against Ryan Dempster (7-3). Only four teams have won a division or pennant after trailing by at least 13 games. "No one said it was going to be easy," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "We started out to play 162 games and now -- tomorrow -- its 162. And well see what happens. We take it no different than we have been approaching it. We just havent pput our game together yet.dddddddddddd Tomorrow we have to put it together. If we dont put it together, we still go to the playoffs." The loser will go the post-season as one of the two AL wild-card teams, needing to win a one-game playoff with Baltimore or the New York Yankees on Friday to advance to the division series. "This isnt Game 7 of the World Series. Its not win or go home," Gomes said. "Were going to play loose. Were going to have fun and just continue to pass the torch. Hopefully tomorrow we get our pitching, defence and homers. Thats been it for us." The Rangers, who had held sole possession of the AL West lead since April 9, never expected to be in that position. But now they need one more victory to win their third straight division title. They had been counting on Matt Harrison (18-11) to wrap up the title but now need to survive one more storm Wednesday to do it. Harrison had been cruising along, retiring 10 straight batters before running into trouble in the fifth. Josh Donaldson led off with a single and advanced to third on Brandon Moss double. Norris then lined a single to right field that scored Donaldson with the tying run. Third base coach Mike Gallego initially held up Moss, but Cruz bobbled the ball for an error that allowed Moss to score. Oakland tacked on an insurance run when Gomes hit his 18th homer with two outs in the sixth to make it 3-1, delighting the crowd of 30,660. "He got two pitches up where he probably didnt want them," Washington said. "The one to Donaldson and the other to Moss. They were able to put something together in that inning and put some runs on the board. He fell behind on Gomes and he had to come in with a fastball strike and Gomes didnt miss it. Theres the score right there. We put just one run on the board tonight." NOTES: The As estimated a walk-up crowd of 12,000. ... The gametime temperature of 87 degrees was the warmest of the year in Oakland. ... The other teams to come back from at least 13 games down were the 1914 Boston Braves, the 1951 New York Giants, the 78 Yankees and the 95 Seattle Mariners. ... Oakland reliever Pat Neshek will miss the final two games for the birth of his first child. ... Texas RHP Mike Adams rejoined the team after receiving a cortisone injection in his strained neck Monday. It is unknown when he will be able to pitch again.
