ESPOO, Finland (AP) Seventeen-year-old qualifier Svetlana Kuznetsova won her first WTA Tour championship Sunday, defeating Denisa Chladkova 0-6, 6-3, 7-6 (2) in the final of the $140,000 Nordic Light Open.

Kuznetsova was ranked 123rd entering the tournament and likely will break into the top 100 when the new rankings are released Monday.

"I don't want to remember the first set at all," the Russian said after being routed in the opening set. "I didn't get my legs working and made unforced errors. But I pumped myself up in the second set."

Kuznetsova used a hard forehand to come back against Chladkova, a Czech looking for her first title.

Kuznetsova reached the doubles final as well. In all, she played 12 matches in the tournament.
