Too-seeded Alize Cornet of France won her sixth career title by beating Mandy Minella of Luxembourg 6-4 7-6 (8-6) in the Ladies' Championship Gstaad final on Sunday.
Minella, playing in her first final on tour at age 32, was seeking to become the third mother to win a WTA singles title in the past year.
The 48th-ranked Cornet did not drop a set all week in the Swiss Alps clay-court event to win her first title since January 2016, at the Hobart International.
Cornet won five of the 20 break points she held against the 226th-ranked Minella.
The 28-year-old Frenchwoman clinched the first set with a drop-shot winner, and saved two set points in the second-set tiebreaker.
