Agnieszka Radwanska kept up her winning record in finals this season by beating Vera Zvonareva of Russia to win the WTA Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
The 22-year-old Pole, who claimed the title at Carlsbad in her first final of the season in August, repeated her excellent performance with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over the world number four.
"I'm happy, I had very good wins and it was my best tournament this year.
"To play against Vera, you have to play your best," said Radwanska.
The title winner shrugged off a slow start, taking five games in a row as the Russian struggled to put away her first serves.
Radwanska missed one set point in the eighth game and two more in the ninth, but cashed in on a fourth when Zvonareva hit a lob long.
The Pole jumped ahead 2-0 and then 4-1 in the second set and, although she dropped her serve in the sixth, she took the following two games, the match ending with the Russian hitting a forehand wide.
It was the 22-year-old's sixth career title, following victories at Pattaya City, Istanbul, Eastbourne in 2008 and Stockholm in 2007, as well as at Carlsbad.
