Second seed Anastasia Myskina was a convincing winner of the first all-russian final on the WTA Tour when she dispatched Elena Likhovtseva. The 21-year-old easily beat No 5 seed Elena Likhovtseva 6-3, 6-1 to land the $27,000 winner's cheque and her third career title.

Likhovtseva, who was also seeking her third tour title, had not dropped a set going into the final but never looked like maintaining that record.
