Eighth seed Sara Errani clinched her second consecutive WTA Tour title on Sunday when she overcame fourth seed Anabel Medina Garrigues in the final of the Slovenia Open.
The 21-year-old Italian, who triumphed in Palermo a fortnight ago, prevailed 6-3 6-3 over her Spanish rival in Portoroz.
Errani acknowledged she had been aided by some mistakes by her opponent.
"I think we were both tired, but we both tried hard and it was a nice match," she said.
"We know each other very well. We practice together in Valencia, and I've played her a few times before. I think she maybe struggled a bit with the long points and made some errors, which helped me today."
Sara Errani puts her improved run of recent form down to hard work on the practice courts.
"I haven't changed anything this year; I just try to practice hard every day, and the results are starting to come," she said.
"At the beginning of the year I was just hoping to make it to the Olympic team and I did make it, which I'm really excited about."
