Elena Dementieva crashed out to world number two Caroline Wozniacki in Saturday's final of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
The Danish top seed saw off seventh seed Dementieva with a 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory.
The Russian got off to a good start, but never quite managed to recover her composure after hitting a backhand into the net in the second set.
The Dane's win means she can leapfrog U.S.'s Serena Williams as number one in the world rankings if she reaches the quarter-finals at the China Open in Beijing next week.
