France's Amelie Mauresmo thrashed Elena Bovina 6-2, 6-0 to win her fourth title of the year at the $585,000 Linz Open on Sunday. The top-seeded Mauresmo overpowered Bovina from the very first point to add to her 2004 titles at the German Open, Rome and Montreal in some style.
Bovina, seeded ninth at the Austrian event, had edged a desperately tight semi-final against compatriot Nadia Petrova 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 on Saturday and looked to have nothing left for the final.
Mauresmo recently reached the top of the world rankings for the first time before being leap-frogged by Lindsay Davenport.
