Top-seeded Venus Williams beat Russia's Maria Kirilenko 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 to claim the Seoul Open on Sunday.
Williams took the first set 6-3 in overcast condition, but the Wimbledon champion suffered an early break in the second as she struggled with her serve, chalking up 11 double faults as No. 4 Kirilenko raced on to win the set.
Leading 3-2 in the final set, Kirilenko looked set to repeat her success of a week earlier when she won the Sunfeast Open at Calcutta, but Williams came back to take the trophy.
The Seoul Open is her third win in three meetings against the Russian.
