Bulgarian qualifier Tsvetana Pironkova's fairytale run at the Sydney tennis International ended with her first WTA title when she beat world number nine Angelique Kerber in straight sets in the final.
Pironkova had already beaten world number six Petra Kvitova and number seven Sara Errani in the seven matches it took her to get the final and rode a second-set fightback from her German opponent to claim the victory.
