In the first all-Australian final on the WTA Tour in 13 years, sixth seed
Alicia Molik defeated Samantha Stosur to win the Medibank International.
Molik triumped 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 7-5 in a tight match against her Fed Cup colleague.
It was the fifth career
title for Molik, seeded 10th for next week's Australian Open.
Stosur lost in a final for the second straight week, having fallen to
Switzerland's Patty Schnyder in last week's Gold Coast event. She reached the
final here with two straight walk-overs.
