Italian Flavia Pennetta beat Chan Yung-jan from Chinese Taipei on Sunday to win the singles' title for the WTA tournament Bangkok Open 2007, while Chinese pair Yan Zi and Sun Tiantian was crowned in doubles.

Seventh-seeded Pennetta advanced to the finals after beating former World No. One and Grand Slam multi-time winner Venus Williams in two sets at Saturday's semi-final, and moved to seize the final glory by defeating the 18-year-old Chan 6-1, 6-3 at the single's final match which had been postponed due to heavy downpour.

For the doubles, top seed Chinese pair Yan Zi/Sun Tiantian had a walk-over victory as opponent pair Ayumi Morita/Junri Namigata from Japan abstained.

The Bangkok Open, a WTA Tier III event, started on Oct. 8 at the National Tennis Development Center, Muangthong Thani on the outskirts of Bangkok, offering a prize money of US$200,000.
