Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova squandered four match points before outlasting the Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4 6-7 6-3 to win the WTA San Diego Open.
Kuznetsova captured her 13th career title at the hardcourt event, a tune-up for the US Open, and it was the first crown for the 21st-ranked veteran since she beat Radwanska in the Beijing final last October.
The two-time Grand Slam champion botched four match points in the second-set tie-breaker after squandering leads of 4-0 and 6-3, double-faulting twice on match point to open the door for 10th-ranked Radwanska to force a third set.
