Sara Errani became the second first time singles winner, beating seventh seed Mariya Koryttseva for the Internazionali Femminili di Tennis di Palermo title on Sunday. Errani who had never previously been in a WTA tour final made quick work of her 62 63. While Koryttseva did show some fine tennis skill at time, she was inconsistent, while Errani, though stating that she herself was not at her best, remained steady to take the title. Errani, who conquered the number one seed, Flavia Pennetta, in a tough semifinal did not slow down and displayed her clay-court abilities. When interviewed after the match, Errani explained the keys to her success: "I think the difference between us was I was stronger in the long points. It was difficult to stay physically strong the whole week because it's very hot here, but I think I did better in the end."
