Tanasugarn Wins Title on Grass
The qualifier Tamarine Tanasugarn defeated third-seeded Dinara Safina, 7-5, 6-3, to win her first grass-court title, the Ordina Open on Saturday in Den Bosch, the Netherlands.
Playing with a bandaged thigh, Tanasugarn, of Thailand, clinched the victory with a powerful forehand winner.
Safina, the 2006 runner-up in Den Bosch and a semifinalist last year, said Tanasugarn was the better player.
“She has a lot of experience and she played well today,” said Safina, who was a finalist at the French Open this month.
Later, top-seeded David Ferrer became the first Spaniard to win the Ordina title, defeating Marc Gicquel, 6-4, 6-2.
