The second-seeded Swiss had lost her previous seven finals since her last tournament success in Cincinnati back in July 2005, but showed no signs of nerves as she breezed to her 11th career title in just 67 minutes.

“I’m very proud – it’s a great feeling to be the champion,” said Schnyder.

Paszek, 17, was outplayed in the final, but said afterwards: “It was a great experience for me this week, especially after the tough few months I’ve had. It’s a nice feeling to be in that winning rhythm again.

“Patty was just too tough – she played really well.”
