Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova waited five year to win her second Grand Slam title at French Open after a surprising lopsided win over top-seeded compatriot Dianara Safina on Saturday. The No. 7 seed beat an out-of-form Safina 6-4, 6-2 with stable and solid performance to lift her second major trophy after winning the U.S. Open in 2004.

Safina, bidding for her first Grand Slam title, was left ruing with tears after sending Kuznetsova to the Paris crown with a double fault.

The current world number one had to finish runner-up at Roland Garros for a successive second time after losing to Ana Ivanovic in Paris a year ago. "It's a big moment for me. Some people don't believe I can do it again after long time. But today I made it happen," Kuznetsova said immediately after the match.

"I'm really happy. It's a special time and I've been waiting this moment for so long time," she then addressed the awarding ceremony after being handed the trophy by six times former winner Steffi Graf.
