Jelena Jankovic clinched her second WTA Tour title of the season.

Jankovic secured her second title after defeating world number one Dinara Safina in the final of the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Cincinnati.

Safina ended the run of comeback girl Kim Clijsters in the quarter-finals and also saw off in-form Flavia Pennetta in the last four but she had no answer to the Serbian, who triumphed 6-4 6-2.

Jankovic needed just one break to claim the first set while she always looked in control in the second.

Jankovic said: "I'm really pleased that I was able to play well today and beat the number one player in the world, and beat Elena Dementieva on Saturday.

"I got quite a few good wins under my felt belt this week."

Safina added: "I think I was a little bit off. Basically I would say it was not my day. She was using some good shots and hitting very close to the lines and down the lines. She played some great tennis today."
