07/18/2010 - Prague, Czech Republic (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hungary's Agnes Szavay captured her second consecutive tournament title with a three-set victory over crowd favorite Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic in Sunday's final of the Prague Open.

Szavay claimed the home title last week in Budapest and followed it up with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 triumph on Sunday to notch her fifth career WTA Tour crown. She has won 10 straight matches since a first-round loss to Ekaterina Makarova at Wimbledon.

Zahlavova Strycova was appearing in her first career WTA final and was trying to become the first Czech player to win in Prague.

Szavay broke serve in the opening game of Sunday's match and won the first set with ease. Zahlavova Strycova turned the tables in the second set, winning six straight games after Szavay had won the opener.

After an early break of serve by Zahlavova Strycova in the third, Szavay dominated and went on to claim the first prize of $37,000 in the first meeting between the two.

Szavay improved to 5-2 all-time in WTA finals.
