Beijing, China (My Sportsbook) - Svetlana Kuznetsova cruised past Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2, 6-4 to capture the China Open title on Sunday.

The sixth-seeded Russian and reigning French Open champion continued her strong play at this event. Kuznetsova was last year's China Open runner-up to Jelena Jankovic, won the 2006 crown and was also a finalist in 2004.

Kuznetsova, who collected a first-place prize of $775,500, was appearing in her fourth final this year. In addition to winning her second career grand slam at Roland Garros, she was also victorious in Stuttgart and lost in the Rome title match. All three finals were contested against fellow Russian Dinara Safina.

"Normally I feel tired at the end of the season but now I feel great," Kuznetsova said. "Until this morning I didn't realize it was such a high category tournament with so much prize money - I seem to play my best tennis when it's important! I've now won here two out of four times and reached two finals; it's hard to explain why, but I guess it's a great place for me. It was important to keep my concentration against Agnieszka, not miss easy balls, keep winning my service games and try my best against her serve."

Radwanska, the No. 12 seed, had never lost in four previous title match appearances, winning three times last year and once in 2007.

Kuznetsova improved to 6-3 lifetime against Radwanska.
