Den Bosch, Netherlands -- Anna Chakvetadze Saturday beat top-seeded Jelena Jankovic 7-6 (7-2), 3-6, 6-3 to win the women's Ordina Open at Den Bosch, Netherlands.
The match was delayed by inclement weather during the first set and there were four rain breaks in all.
The victory helped the 20-year-old, No. 3 seed Chakvetadze run her career record in finals to a perfect 4-0. Her career record against Jankovic, a rising star in the women's tennis world, rose to a surprising 5-2.
Jankovic was playing in a final for the sixth time this season, but was thwarted in an effort to bag her sixth career title.
She won last week's grass-court DFS Classic in Birmingham, England.
