World number one Jelena Jankovic beat Vera Zvonareva for the third week in succession to claim the Kremlin Cup on Sunday.

The 23-year-old Serbian, who also registered wins over the Russian on her way to tournament victories in Beijing and Stuttgart, won the Moscow title with a 6-2 6-4 victory.

Seventh-seeded Zvonareva battled hard but never looked like achieving the win the home fans craved.

It was Jankovic's fourth title of the season and the eighth of her career.
