World number one and local favourite Caroline Wozniacki thrilled a rowdy crowd to win the Danish Open on Sunday for the second consecutive year.
Fourth seed Safarova, the world number 38, had been a slow starter all week, coming back from a set down in each of her matches en route to the final, and the left-hander was immediately broken by Wozniacki in her first service game.
Despite some hefty groundstrokes Safarova proved far too erratic to worry the ever-solid Wozniacki as the first set whizzed by.
Wozniacki broke ominously at the start of the second set but a couple of tight line calls against her and a double-fault allowed Safarova to break back.
With the Danish crowd clapping her on at every important point, Wozniacki immediately broke again to lead 3-2 and regain the upper hand, with her trademark two-handed backhand proving a potent weapon.
Wozniacki held her nerve as the remaining games went with serve, eventually sealing her fifth title of the year when Safarova made two more unforced errors.
The 20-year-old, who did not drop a set all week, will now head to Wimbledon for some much-needed practise on grass, hoping to improve on last year's showing whe she was beaten 6-2, 6-0 in the fourth round by Petra Kvitova.
