Caroline Wozniacki took just 75 minutes to defeat 16th seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1 6-3 in the final of the Dubai championships on Sunday. The top-seeded Dane had never advanced beyond the third round of the tournament before, but she swept through the draw without the loss of a set to win her 13th career title.
By defeating Shahar Peer in the quarter-finals she re-captured the top ranking she had surrendered to Kim Clijsters just the week before, and she is expected to hold on to that ranking for at leastt the next four weeks.
