Amelie Mauresmo won her third straight tournament after a straight-sets victory over Amanda Coetzer in the final of the Bausch & Lomb Championships.

Seeded sixth, Mauresmo beat the South African 6-4 7-5 to earn her fifth career title and pick up the winner's check of 90,000 US dollars (£60,000).

The Frenchwoman improved her record this season to 20-1, having won titles in her homeland at the Paris indoors and Nice and has now not lost since a fourth-round exit to Venus Williams at the Australian Open.

The fourth-seeded Coetzer bettered her semi-final appearances here in 1997 and 1998 by reaching the final, but came short of her second title of the year.
