BALI, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Aravane Rezai won the Tournament of Champions in Bali on Sunday when top seed Marion Bartoli retired with a quad injury after losing the first set 7-5.
The win gave Rezai the second title of her career following success at Strasbourg in May and lifted her into the world's top 30 for the first time.
"It's a big surprise to finish like that -- I'm very sorry for her," said Rezai, who earned $200,000 and broke the million dollar barrier in career earnings over the week.
"She looks like she hurt a lot and I hope it is not a big injury."
Bartoli had broken her fellow Frenchwoman to lead 3-2 but failed to serve out the set at 5-4 and was unable to convert a break point on Rezai's serve at 5-5.
Tenth seed Rezai held for 6-5 and then struck a backhand winner to end a long rally to earn two set points. Continued...
