Cornet, the seventh seed, won 7-5 7-6 (7/1) to upset the second seed and take the title.

Cornet, who lost in the final in Strasbourg last month, took her second WTA career title to add to her victory in Budapest in 2008.

But she made hard work of closing out the match after leading the second set 5-3 before being pegged back, although she was a convincing winner of the tiebreak.
