Top-seeded in Budapest, Shnaider powered her way through the field this week with the loss of only one set across five matches.
The final today was a topsy-turvy affair, with both players conceding a total of twelve breaks (five on Shnaider’s serve and seven for Sasnovich.)
But it was the Russian who ultimately came out on top, adding a clay-court title to her impressive haul this year that also includes one on grass and another on hard courts.
