French world number 13 Marion Bartoli claimed her first title in three years after beating China's Li Na 6-4 6-3 to win the Monterrey Open.

Second seed Bartoli, 24, won all three of her career titles in 2006 but needed just 82 minutes to down Li in their first career meeting.

Unseeded world number 53 Li, 27, had beaten top seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the first round earlier in the week but last year's Gold Coast winner failed to convert that into a third career title.

"I feel really good about how I played the whole week. I had some tough matches, not just today but also in the semi-finals. They were both two sets but tough. I hit some great shots at the right moment. I'm happy about my level," said Bartoli.

"My first three titles came in 2006 when I was younger and not really expecting to win. So it's understandable why those ones were more emotional. But it's always nice to win titles, and this is a great one. Now I'm hoping to start winning bigger tournaments, and I hope I can keep playing like this in Indian Wells and Miami."
