Slovakian Henrieta Nagyova finally brought a halt to the remarkable winning streak of compatriot Lubomira Kurhajcova to take the Volvo Women's Open title in Pattaya City in straight sets.

Nagyova eased to a 6-4 6-2 victory to claim the crown for the second time in her career as the unseeded Kurhajcova - playing in her first WTA Tour final after defeating more celebrated names such as Saori Obata and Anca Barna en route to the Thai showpiece - failed to repeat her previous exploits in the competition.

Nagyova broke as early as the third game in the first set, and when she raced into a 4-1 lead in the second it was clear there was no way back for Kurhajcova.

It is Nagyova's ninth career title, and her first since 2000, as she again impressed at a tournament that clearly makes her feel at home.

The Slovakian won the title in 1997 and reached the semi-finals in 1996 and 2000.

Nagyova collects a tidy 16,000 for her week's work, with Kurhajcova, the revelation of the championships, pocketing a cheque for 9,000.
