Hungarian Agnes Szavay delighted the home fans in Budapest by capturing the GDF SUEZ Grand Prix title.
Szavay came from a set down to topple top seed Patty Schnyder 2-6 6-4 6-2 to win her third WTA Tour title.
The first two came in her breakthrough season and 2007. She has since slipped down the rankings to 37th but is determined to use this result as a springboard.
Szavay said: "I played so badly here last year and didn't expect to win this year, so I'm really happy with what happened this week. My goal is to get back into the top 20 this year, if possible.
"It feels great to win here. The crowd was supporting me the whole week. It was a lot of pressure, but on the other hand, they were supporting me so much even when I wasn't playing so well. I won my last title a long time ago so this win feels great, especially because it's in Hungary."
