SARASOTA, Fla. - After a sluggish start, Anastasia Myskina used her quickness to beat Alicia Molik 6-4, 6-1 and win the championship of the $140,000 Sarasota Clay Court Classic on Sunday.

Martina Navratilova also won her third doubles title of the year and 169th in her career when she and South African Liezel Huber beat Japan's Shinobu Asagoe and Nana Miyagi 7-6 (6), 6-3.

The second-seeded Myskina, the only seeded player left in the tournament, fell behind 2-0 to a player who got through the qualifying tournament to reach the main draw.

But the 21-year-old Russian took three straight games, went ahead 5-4 and then broke Molik to win the first set. The second set was tied at 1 when Myskina broke the Australian twice and held serve in the final game to win the match.

It was the fourth singles championship for Myskina, the top-rated player in Russia. The tall and powerful Molik, who had 17 aces in her semifinal victory, had four against Myskina.

"I knew she couldn't stay in rallies with me, and I just wanted to be able to handle her serve and put the ball in play," Myskina said. "I felt confident even after I was down 2-0. She doesn't move that well and I knew I just had to keep her moving, especially with the heat. I thought she would get tired."
