World number one Dinara Safina clinched her second title of the year after overcoming Danish teen sensation Caroline Wozniacki in the final of the Madrid Open.
Top seed Safina, following on from her success in Rome last week, was simply too good for number nine Wozniacki and powered her way to a 6-2 6-4 win.
The consolation for Wozniacki, who failed to take any of her five break points in the final, is that she will become the first Dane to enter the top 10 of the world rankings when the new list is released on Monday.
Safina, who had never before played Wozniacki either in a match or even in practice, said: "I think the match was pretty good, I was feeling very confident from the beginning of the match.
"I was trying to play as aggressively as I could and put her under pressure.
"I got a little bit tired by the end of the match but even at the crucial moments I was dominant."
Wozniacki enjoyed the better start to the final, holding serve straight away and then earning a break point on Safina's opening service game.
However, the 18-year-old could not make the most of that chance and her bright start seemed only to inspire Safina as the top seed went into overdrive.
The Russian, playing her fifth final of 2009, earned two break points in the third game, succeeding on the second to go 2-1 ahead, and then broke Wozniacki again in the fifth to take a 4-1 lead.
That soon became 5-1 and although Wozniacki finally managed to hold her service in the following game, Safina then comfortably took the set.
Wozniacki was again left playing catch-up in the second set after being broken early on, but she showed good fight to create four break points - three of which came in the eighth game.
However, Safina held off the challenge of her younger opponent in that game and the 23-year-old would go on to record her 11th career title.
"It was quite a close match because I gave her some chances and there were some chances I didn't take. I might have been in trouble if she'd taken them," added Safina.
"I had chances for a double break in the second set and I didn't take them but overall I think I controlled the match."
