Tanasugarn prevails, wins Ordina Open title

Tamarine Tanasugarn proved that she wasn't too old to win another title, as the veteran from Thailand dismissed world No. 1 Dinara Safina in the semifinals, and ousted Yanina Wickmayer to win the Ordina Open in 'S-Hertogenbosch.

Tanasugarn was the defending champion at the Ordina Open, and managed to defend it well, after beating wildcard Wickmayer, 63 75.

"It was a tough match. Yanina did a good job running me around. I'm happy I held on to win," Tanasugarn said. "Last year it was a great experience to win here and I'm so proud I could do it again. I love playing here."

The results in head-to-head between Tanasugarn and Wickmayer are now 1-1, since Wickmayer won their last meeting on grass last year.
