OEIRAS, Portugal (AP) - Gaston Gaudio captured the Estoril Open on Sunday, beating Spanish wild card Tommy Robredo 6-1, 2-6, 6-1 for his third clay-court title this season.
Qualifier Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic took the women's title in the first final of her career with a 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3 victory over fourth-seeded Na Li of China. It was the first time a qualifier won this tournament.
Gaudio, last year's French Open champion, got off to a strong start against Robredo, who was celebrating his 23rd birthday. Robredo regrouped in the second set to even the match. Gaudio had no trouble in the third set despite three double-faults.
