Anastasia Myskina of Russia claimed a victory on home soil as she lifted the Kremlin Cup on Sunday.

Myskina, seeded four, saw off Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo to clinch the title in straight sets 6-2 6-4.

Myskina was cheered on by former Russian president Boris Yeltsin who was also courtside for her semi-final against Anna Pistolesi.

Yeltsin is himself a keen amateur tennis player.

Myskina thus has clinched back-to-back titles with this crown following hot on the heels of her victory in Leipzig last week.
