    Victoria Azarenka of Belarus beat Maria Kirilenko of Russia 6-3, 6-4 in the Kremlin Cup final Sunday to earn her fifth career title.

    After the players exchanged breaks early on, Azarenka broke Kirilenko twice to take the first set.

    The 24th-ranked Kirilenko took a 4-0 lead in the second set, but the 10th-ranked Azarenka saved three break points in the seventh game -- and three more in the ninth -- to win six straight games.

    She wrapped up the victory with a forehand net volley after Kirilenko saved two match points.
