Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova in the final, after she beat world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki 7-5 6-3 in a match littered with service breaks.
Sharapova rolled back the years with a performance of crisp power hitting to eventually prove too much for her Danish opponent.
She broke Wozniacki early on but when she led 4-3 there were four breaks in a row until the Russian finally held serve to take the set 7-5.
The service struggles continued at the start of the second set as four of the first five games went against the server.
That saw Wozniacki open up a 3-1 lead but Sharapova wouldn't let her consolidate and reeled off the final five games as she consistently found the corners with rasping ground-strokes.
