Posted on February 26, 2006

Swede Sofia Arvidsson fought off Polish 20-year-old Marta Domachowska 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 Saturday night in the final of the WTA stop in Memphis for her first career title.

"We both have the same styles of play and she played very good today but it was just my day," the 22-year-old Arvidsson said. "Marta is a nice girl and she wanted to win, but I also wanted to win today."

Domachowska fell to 0-3 in career singles finals.

"I had a lot of fun," Domachowska said. "This week was really good. I am happy that I made it to the final. My first final I only won two games then my second final I won seven games, now I make it to three sets, hopefully the next one will be a win for me."

In the doubles final, top seeds and reigning US Open champions Lisa Raymond and Sam Stosur won their second title of the year with a 7-6(2), 6-3 win over wildcards Victoria Azarenka and Caroline Wozniacki.
