Spain's Virginia Ruano Pascual captured her first
WTA Tour singles title in five years on Sunday with a 6-2 7-6 (7/2) victory over
Saori Obata at the Tashkent Open.
Fourth seed Ruano Pascual, now 3-0 in WTA Tour singles finals, last won a
crown in Budapest in 1998.
She was also a winner in Cardiff six years ago.
Sunday marked the first time that third seed Obata had appeared in a WTA Tour
final.
