Yevgeny Kafelnikov walked away a winner for the second time this year despite not being fully fit.

Less than 24 hours after suffering a painful hand injury, Kafelnikov captured the President's Cup with a 7-6 (8/6) 7-5 victory over Belarussian qualifier Vladimir Voltchkov on Saturday.

The third-seeded Russian was questionable for the final of this hardcourt event after dislocating the fourth finger on his left hand during Friday's semi-final against Paradorn Srichaphan, but the injury did not appear to be a factor against Voltchkov.

In July, Kafelnikov won his first title of the year at Halle with a nagging foot injury.

The durable Russian has stayed relatively healthy during his career, leading the ATP in total matches played seven times in the last eight years.

Kafelnikov's victory bodes well for his Davis Cup dream.

After saying all year long that he intends to retire if he wins the team competition, he was uncertain Friday whether he could play in next week's semi-finals in Moscow against Argentina.

The 28-year-old from Sochi completed one of his goals by winning this event.

A two-time runner-up here, Kafelnikov promised he would return to the former Soviet city until he won the crown.

He earned 71,600 US dollars for his 26th career title.

Playing in his first career ATP final, Voltchkov lost to Kafelnikov for the second time in as many meetings. He takes home 42,000 dollars.

Voltchkov is best known for reaching the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2000 where he lost to Pete Sampras.
