Marino dropped only one set in the $60,000 U.S. tournament. KURUME, JAPAN—Vancouver’s Rebecca Marino defeated qualifier Yuki Naito 6-4, 7-6 (0) on Sunday to win the ITF Kurume title on the World Tennis Tour. She will move into the top 150 of the WTA Tour world rankings on Monday, her highest position since starting her comeback last year. Marino has spent most of the last two months playing lower-level ITF tournaments in Japan. A former top-40 player, Marino returned to full-time play last season after a five-year break.
