OEIRAS, Portugal — Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova beat Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 7-5, 6-2 Saturday to win the Portugal Open and claim her first trophy on clay. The third-seeded champion, coached by former Swiss great Martina Hingis, earned the fifth title of her career while leaving her opponent winless from five finals. One of those was at the same venue a year ago, when Suarez Navarro went down to Kaia Kanepi, an opponent she beat in the semifinals this week. Spain's David Ferrer will play his 37th final when he and Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka line up Sunday for the clay title in the men's section here. The top seed dispatched Italian Andreas Seppi 6-1, 6-4 in 70 minutes while Wawrinka ended the run of Spanish qualifier Pablo Carreno-Busta as the second seed posted a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 win in a match marred by complaints about on-court coaching from the Spaniard's box. Pavlyuchenkova has been working with Hingis officially for just a few weeks and the game style and fighting determination of Switzerland's five-time Grand Slam champion may be rubbing off on the 21-year-old right-hander. “She was really happy with the win,” said Pavlyuchenkova of her mentor's first win as a coach. All-German final Tommy Haas will play defending champion Philipp Kohlschreiber in an all-German final at the BMW Open Sunday. The third-seeded Haas defeated Ivan Dodig of Croatia 6-4, 6-3 on Saturday, while Kohlschreiber edged compatriot Daniel Brands 6-7 (4), 6-3, 7-6 (5) to set up the first all-German title match in Munich in 48 years. The 35-year-old Haas, who reached the 2000 final and hopes to win the title for the first time at the 10th attempt, needed less than 90 minutes to oust an opponent who caused three upsets on his way to the semifinal. The 56th-ranked Dodig defeated Russian two-time champion Nikolay Davydenko in the first round, second-seeded countryman Marin Cilic in the next and fifth-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov on Friday. Kohlschreiber battled from a break down in the final set to beat Brands in 2 hours, 14 minutes. He's going for his third Munich title, having also triumphed in 2007. “It's great for German tennis,” Haas said. “We played really well last year in all the German events and now again we're going to have an all-German final, which I think is great for the fans.” — Agencies
