Posted on July 23, 2007
Russian top seed Anna Chakvetadze improved to 5-0 lifetime in finals after Sunday capturing the title at the Western and Southern Financial Group Women's Open, defeating No. 7 seed Akiko Morigami 6-1, 6-3.
"When I came here I started hearing about being 4-0 in finals and that's just great," Chakvetadze said. "Today I think I played better than I did yesterday because it was a final. I always try to improve my game for a final because it's just a more important match."
Morigami is now 1-2 lifetime in tour singles finals. She saved a match point against Pin in her first round, and in the quarters upset over No. 2 seed Patty Schnyder.
In the doubles final, top seeds Bethanie Mattek/Sania Mirza beat Alina Jidkova/Tatiana Poutchek 7-6(4), 7-5.
