Marion Bartoli defeated Li Na 6-4, 6-3 in 1 hour, 21 minutes to claim the title at the inaugural Monterrey Open women's tennis event.

For Bartoli, who has four titles, this was first WTA title in more than two years

"I feel really good about how I played the whole week," Bartoli said. "I had some tough matches, not just today but also in the semifinals. They were both two sets but tough. I hit some great shots at the right moment. I'm happy about my level."

"My first three titles came in 2006 when I was younger and not really expecting to win. So it's understandable why those ones were more emotional. But it's always nice to win titles, and this is a great one. Now I'm hoping to start winning bigger tournaments, and I hope I can keep playing like this in Indian Wells and Miami."

Bartoli's semifinal win over Zheng Jie was her 300th career singles match win: "It makes me feel old - 300 already, oh my gosh! I don't normally think about the wins but it's great. I focus on winning titles, not about how many matches I've win. But of course I'm happy about it!

"Monterrey was absolutely perfect. So many people came out to watch every day, and there were even French fans supporting me so much. For its first year it was really well organized, and the Tournament Director did his best to give us everything we needed. I really enjoyed my time here."
