Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova needed just 84 minutes to collect her first WTA Tour title of the season, as she eased past unseeded German Anna-Lena Friedsam in the final of the Linz Open.
The 24-year-old Russian won 6-4 6-3 after breaking the world No 118's serve four times during the contest.
Friedsam, who was broken in the opening game of the first set, appeared to offer some resistance at the start of the second when she claimed her only break of the afternoon to move 2-0 in front.
But from there, the No 7 seed struck back to win of six of the final seven games and claim her eighth career title on her second match point.
