The Russian won 6-3, 6-2 to lift her first crown at one of the four Grand Slam tournament venues in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York. Both women, who were playing in their first final at a Grand Slam tournament, started tentatively. Neither was able to win their first two service games to leave the score all-square at 2-2 after 22 minutes. Chwalinska finally held to lead 3-2. But that was as good as it got for the 24-year-old Pole over the next 45 minutes. Andreeva reeled off the next nine games to take the opening set 6-3 and rack up a 5-0 lead in the second set.
