Moscow, Russia (My Sportsbook) - Italian Francesca Schiavone easily defeated Belarus' Olga Govortsova for her second career WTA Tour title Sunday at the $1 million Kremlin Cup.

It was the second finals appearance in as many weeks for the eighth-seeded Schiavone, who ended runner-up to Australian Samantha Stosur in Osaka last week.

The 2005 Moscow runner-up posted a 6-3, 6-0 win over Govortsova one day removed from rolling to an equally convincing 6-4, 6-0 pasting of Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko in the semifinals. The 29-year-old Schiavone is now 2-10 in finals appearances. Her lone previous triumph came at Bad Gastein in 2007.

"I didn't expect to win the title but I thought I'd have a good week because I felt good when I arrived," Schiavone said. "Moscow is a beautiful city and now many people here know me because it's the second time I got to the final."

Govortsova, who defeated Russian Alisa Kleybanova 6-2, 6-1 in the other semifinal Saturday, fell to 0-2 in career Tour finals. The 21-year-old was runner-up at Memphis in 2008.

"Francesca played very well today. I was trying my best and in the first set there were a lot of long games, especially that sixth game, but she didn't miss much," said Govortsova. "It was the first time I've played here and I was happy to get to the final of such a big event."

This was the third meeting between Schiavone and Govortsova, with the former now owning a 2-1 edge in the head-to-head series.

Schiavone pocketed $157,427 for the win.
