Jankovic tops Suarez Navarro to claim title in Marbella

The title for Jelena Jankovic didn't come easy, as she took it to three sets against local Carla Suarez Navarro, and eventually won, making it her first tournament win of 2009.

The second-seeded Serb had a tough time coming back to form, but she proved in Sunday's final that she still has the will to win. The match was ended against the No. 5 seed with a score of 63 36 63.

"I know I haven't been playing well the last three months but this win has given me back the confidence I need," Jankovic said. "It's my 10th title, and just the beginning of the clay season, so I hope to continue in this way. The tournament has been wonderful here. I really hope to come back next year."

"Despite my defeat I leave this tournament very satisfied," Suárez Navarro said. "Listening to the audience cheering my name was an incredible experience."
