QUEBEC CITY -- Nadia Petrova defeated Bethanie Mattek in three sets to win the WTA's Bell Challenge title Sunday.
The top-seeded Russian lost the opening set 6-4 before coming back 6-4, 6-1 against the sixth-seeded American.
"I won this mental battle," Petrova said.
The 140 points Petrova earned with this title will allow her to participate as an alternate in the year-end Sony Ericsson WTA Championship in Doha, Qatar.
It was the second doubles title this year for both players.
