Dementieva wins her seventh career title and first of the year, cutting short the 20-year-old Frenchwoman's breakout week. Rezai was making her first appearance in singles final. "It's a real shame that Aravane got hurt today, because she had such a great week, beating Venus and Maria," Dementieva said. "It obviously gives me confidence for
Roland Garros -- that was the first place I reached a Grand Slam final, so it has many special memories for me. I hope I can continue to keep winning and have a good result in
Paris." In doubles give it up for the unseeded Radwanska sisters.
