Germany's Martina Muller captured her first WTA Tour title with a 6-2 3-6 6-4 victory over Swiss qualifier Myriam Casanova at the Budapest Open.

The 19-year-old won the battle of the unseeded teenagers having upset top-seeded Martina Sucha on Friday to reach her first tour semi-final, where she then ousted sixth seed Tatiana Poutchek.

Muller has played most of her tennis on the ITF circuit, where she won titles at Meinerzhagen in 1999 and Bastad last season.

However she had lost four straight WTA matches heading into this event.

In defeat, the 16-year old Casanova can at least hold her head high having eliminated Jelena Kostanic and Lubomira Bacheva from the tournament, not to mention fourth seed Eleni Daniilidou in the semi-finals.

Casanova was playing her first WTA tournament after competing in the juniors earlier this year.
