Two years after winning the Launceston International, the Melburnian was back on the court that now bears her image in its gallery of champions to claim the Tasmanian Open women’s title.

But the match was a lot more complicated than the 6-2, 7-6 scoreline suggested as Rogowska came back from 5-4 and 30-0 down in the second set, when a dispute over a line call saw Zlochova protest, interruptions from a spectator and tournament referee David Vernon being called to pass judgment.

When play eventually resumed, the Slovakian No.2 seed saved three match points to take the set to a tie-break, which Rogowska won 7-2.

‘‘I just tried to forget the scoreline because I did not want to have to play a third set,’’ Rogowska said of her second-set predicament.

‘‘I just had to keep the pressure on her and I take confidence from being able to do that.’’

The 24-year-old, who lost in qualifying at the Australian Open earlier this month, was battling a strong head flu but was delighted to claim another Launceston title.

‘‘I love it here. I have very happy memories of playing here. It’s nice to see my picture on the wall and I’m staying at Denis Tucker’s place, which is very comfortable.

‘‘But I’ve been really sick and was doubting myself today.

‘‘If it went to three sets, I knew I would struggle because she is a very tough competitor, gets a lot of balls back and plays a lot of slices and dropshots, plus there was the drama with the line calls and spectators.

‘‘So I was happy to block all that out and get the win.’’

Both players were using the $10,000 Tasmanian tournament as a warm-up to the $150,000 Pro Tour Launceston International which begins at the weekend.

Rogowska said it would be a tall order to become the first two-time winner.

‘‘I had an average end to last year and so just want to get a lot of matches under my belt, which is all good practice.

‘‘It’s a very tough field and I’m not seeded, so it will be hard but good practice and I hope to keep playing the way I have today.’’
