Szavay wins Palermo title

Palermo, Italy (Sports Network) - Agnes Szavay of Hungary captured her first career WTA Tour singles title with a straight-set rout of Germany's Martina Muller in the final of the Palermo International.
The eighth-seeded Szavay cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 victory in her first career WTA final. She had previously reached a pair of semifinals, including a loss to Gisela Dulko in Budapest this past April.
Szavay, just 18 years old, also reached the semifinals in Modena in 2005, beating Muller in the qualifying round of that event -- their only previous meeting.
Muller, seeded second this week, was trying for her second career title. Her only previous crown came in 2002 in Budapest.
