23-year-old Russian
Nadia Petrova beat
Francesca Schiavone for the first time in five meetings 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday to win the WTA Amelia Island title, her second title of the year.
"Every year, I've been doing better and better, playing more consistent and winning more matches," Petrova said. "I felt like she couldn't make huge winners against me on this surface."
It was her first career title on clay.
In the doubles final Asagoe/Srebotnik beat Huber/Mirza 6-2, 6-4.
