Errani posed little challenge for the former Australian Open semifinalist and the result appeared clear from the opening exchanges with Hantuchova dictating the play through solid serves and powerful groundstrokes.

The match was a stark contrast to Hantuchova's ill-tempered but entertaining semi-final against twice-champion Vera Zvonareva as she breezed through the first set and barely gave her opponent a chance to find her feet.

Errani mustered some brief resistance early in the second set but Hantuchova soon wrestled back control and the match became one-way traffic. The Slovak clinched the title without dropping a set in the whole tournament.

"I really focused on my play, point by point, not giving away anything, I was just trying to get the job done and I was really hungry for another title," Hantuchova told reporters.

"I just showed that I really can focus and I'm mentally physically strong." She said her performance in the Thai beach town had come as a surprise to her.

"When you least expect something, that's when good things happen and that happened to me this week," she said.
