Kuznetsova wins Pilot Pen in Conn.

Top-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova won her first title this season when qualifier Agnes Szavay retired with a back injury while leading, 6-4, 0-3, at the Pilot Pen in New Haven, Conn. This was the third straight match Kuznetsova won because her opponent quit. Szavay led 5-3 in the first set when Kuznetsova hit a crosscourt shot. Running to hit a backhand, the Hungarian reached back to return the shot and immediately grabbed her back. She took a medical timeout during the next changeover, and received more treatment between sets. But it became clear after three games of the second set that she could not continue.
