Italian Flavia Penetta defeated compatriot Sara Errani 6-1 6-2 in an all-local final of the Internazionali Femminili di Tennis di Palermo to win her seventh Sony Ericsson WTA Tour title.
The top-seeded Pennetta dethroned Errani, the winner in Palermo last year, and avenged her defeat to Errani in the 2008 Palermo semifinals.
