Vera Zvonareva beat Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-4, 6-4 and to win back-to-back title at the Pattaya Open.
Zvonareva raced to a 3-0 lead but Tamarine clambered back into the match and piled the pressure on her opponent as the intense heat took its toll in the second set.
“This match we both enjoyed, it was very close,” Zvonareva said. “There were a couple of calls I think were faulty. I tried to stick to my game, every game, in every point so every one of them is important.”
“I’d like to congratulate Tammy for coming back here and playing so well this week. The Thai people are so proud of her,” Zvonareva said. “For me, I’m very happy to come back and defend my title this year. I also hope to come to Pattaya next year. Thanks to all of the sponsors and Mr. Geoffrey Rowe, the Tournament Director, for making the tournament such a success.”
Tamarine expressed regret for being a losing finalist but praised Zvonareva for a polished performance.
