MALEEVA ENDS DROUGHT

Top seed Magdalena Maleeva came from a set down to capture her first WTA Tour title in two years by beating second seed Anne Kremer at the Budapest Grand Prix.

Bulgarian Maleeva lost the opening set 6-3, but rallied to take the next two 6-2 6-4 to claim her eighth career title in a match lasting 20 minutes short of three hours.

Maleeva, who was ranked 17th in the world coming into this week, last won a title in 1999.

And she also defeated Kremer then, in the final of an event in Pataya, Thailand.

She pocketed £11,000 for her week's efforts, with Luxembourg's Kremer coming up short of her third career title.

Kremer's first two WTA Tour titles came last year at Auckland and Pataya.
