DEN BOSCH, Netherlands � Thai qualifier Tamarine Tanasugarn defeated third-seeded Dinara Safina 7-5, 6-3 Saturday to win her first grass-court title at the Ordina Open.

Playing with a bandaged thigh, Tanasugarn clinched the win with a powerful forehand winner.

Safina, the 2006 runner-up in Den Bosch and a semifinalist last year, said Tanasugarn was the better player.

"She has a lot of experience and she played well today," Safina said.

Top-seeded David Ferrer was hoping to become the first Spaniard to win at Ordina when he played Frenchman Marc Gicquel later Saturday.
