Sara Errani continued her winning streak as she claimed her third straight clay court title at the Budapest Grand Prix.

Errani secured a 7-5 6-4 victory to claim her 15th straight win on the surface, having won titles in Acapulco and Barcelona.

The Italian converted six of seven break point opportunities as she wrapped up victory in an hour and 43 minutes in Hungary. For Vesnina, another chance to claim her first WTA title passed her by - it was her sixth defeat in as many finals.

Meanwhile, at the Estoril Open, Kaia Kanepi had to save two match points as she came from behind to win her second title of the year with a 3-6 7-6(6) 6-4 victory over Carla Suarez Navarro.

Spain's Suarez Navarro had the chance to claim the first WTA title of her career in the second set tiebreak, but Kanepi hung on to win the second set.

Kanepi went behind once again after her opponent grabbed an early break in the decider, but the Estonian dug deep to clinch victory in just over two-and-a-half hours.
