Sunfeast Open 2006

September 25, 2006

Former world number one Martina Hingis (right) swept to the second title of her comeback year, easily beating Russian teenager Olga Poutchkova 6-0, 6-4 in the final of the Sunfeast Kolkata Open on Sunday.

The Swiss top seed overawed her 18-year-old rival, who was playing her maiden WTA final, in the first set but then had to rally from 1-3 down as Poutchkova fought back with some superb shots.

Hingis, who also won this year's Italian Open, clinched victory in her fourth final of the year in under an hour, to claim her 42nd career title.
