The Hungarian Ladies Open tennis tournament was held in Budapest this weekend and Tímea Babos won the title and the prize of 250 thousand USD (72.7 million HUF), writes hvg.hu.

An intense game between the Hungarian Tímea Babos and the Czech Lucie Safarova ended victoriously for the former: the first two sets were a great fight, but when in the third set Babos owned two serves of Safarova which eventually became of great significance and led Babos to win the whole match, 6:7 (4-7), 6:4, 6:3.
