DEN BOSCH, Netherlands — Top-seeded David Ferrer won his first grass-court title Saturday by defeating Marc Gicquel 6-4, 6-2 at the Ordina Open.

Earlier, Thai qualifier Tamarine Tanasugarn defeated third-seeded Dinara Safina 7-5, 6-3 to capture her first grass-court crown.

The 31-year-old Gicquel, chasing his first ATP championship in a nine-year career, was overpowered by Ferrer in long baseline rallies at the warmup for Wimbledon, which starts Monday.

“I think this proves that we Spaniards can play well on grass,” said Ferrer, the first Spaniard to win at Ordina.

Ferrer dominated the match with 12 aces and no double-faults. He had lost to the Frenchman in their two previous encounters.

“He was too good for me, I tried my best,” said Gicquel, who was playing in only his third tournament final.

Playing with a bandaged thigh, Tanasugarn clinched the win with a powerful forehand winner.

Safina, the 2006 runner-up in Den Bosch and a semifinalist last year, said Tanasugarn was the better player.

“She has a lot of experience and she played well today,” Safina said.

Karlovic takes Nottingham title

NOTTINGHAM, England — Fourth-seeded Ivo Karlovic successfully defended his Nottingham Open title with a 7-5, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (8) victory over Fernando Verdasco.

Rain forced the final of the grass-court Wimbledon warmup to be played indoors.

Karlovic and the third-seeded Verdasco both squandered match points in the tense third-set tiebreaker. But, after a Verdasco double fault, Karlovic claimed the trophy with a gentle volley.

Radwanska wins Eastbourne

EASTBOURNE, England — Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland won her third title of the year, beating Nadia Petrova of Russia 6-4, 6-7 (11), 6-4 in the final of the Eastbourne International Women’s Open.

Radwanska, seeded fourth, joined Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova as the tour’s only three-time winners in 2008. She also won in Thailand and Turkey and has four career titles. Petrova has not won a title since the Paris indoor event in February 2007.

“For sure I had some chances in the second set and she made some good shots,” Radwanska said.

The eighth-seeded Russian was treated before the match for strained right calf and during the final set for an ailing left hip. Radwanska struggled with cramps in the third set.

In a match where both players struggled to hold serve, Radwanska broke three straight times to go up 4-2 in the first set. She failed to serve out the set when leading 5-3, but broke back again with a forehand winner.

Petrova broke to lead 2-1 in the second before Radwanska made it 4-4. In the tiebreaker, Radwanska missed three match points before Petrova evened the match on her fourth set point.

In the third, Radwanska broke for a 5-4 lead when Petrova made a forehand error, and then closed the match on her fifth match point.
