PATTAYA, Thailand — Polish teen Agnieszka Radwanska claimed her second career title today after saving a match point that led to a 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory over U.S. veteran Jill Craybas in the Pattaya Women's Open final.

Craybas saved two match points as she rallied from a big deficit in the third set, and then set up a match point, but netted a forehand to squander her chance.

The top-seeded Radwanska took control in the tiebreaker, winning the match on a favorable netcord.

The victory will put Radwanska, currently ranked 21st in the world, into the top 20 for the first time on Monday.

The 18-year-old, who won her maiden tournament in Stockholm last year, won $25,650.

"I was surprised that the first two sets were easy and then I was up 5-1 in the third," said Radwanska. "Then she came back and was fighting until the last point. I had two match points but I didn't make them. It was a drama.

"Then I was down 5-6 and faced a match point. I was lucky to win the last point."

Radwanska started erratically, but took the first set by winning six straight games with aggressive baseline play.

Craybas won the second set after forcing two breaks to go up 3-0.

Radwanska regained the upper hand to take a 5-1 lead in the third set, but Craybas fought back to level it at 5-5, saving two match points in the process.

Craybas — seeking just the second title of her long career — produced her best tennis when behind, showing persistence in long groundstroke rallies. After the American held to lead 6-5, Radwanska called for a trainer to check blisters on her left foot, taking time to compose herself before serving to stay in the match.

The Pole had to fight in a lengthy 12th game, saving the match point and forcing the tiebreaker.

"I fought my hardest and gave it 100 percent out there, so I have no regret about it," Craybas said.

"At 5-5, I thought that I would pull through. I wished that I could have been more aggressive and confident in the match point."
