S-HERTOGENBOSCH, The Netherlands (AFP) - David Ferrer clinched the ATP grasscourt tournament here on Saturday with a 6-4, 6-2 win over unseeded Frenchman Marc Gicquel.

The win means that for the second week in a row a Spanish player has won an ATP grasscourt title after 36 years without a trophy on the surface.

The 26-year-old Ferrer follows countryman and world number two Rafael Nadal to win a grasscourt title. Last week at the Queen's Club, Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic in the final.

Prior to Nadal's win, the last Spaniard to collect a grass court crown was Andres Gimeno in Eastbourne in 1972.

Ferrer earned his second ATP title of the season and seventh in his career.

"I'm very happy with this win here in 's-Hertogenbosch," said Ferrer.

"This was my first appearance here and it's great to win the title. This title means a lot to me, since it's my first title on a grass court. It also gives me more confidence for Wimbledon."

Thai veteran Tamarine Tanasugarn completed her dramatic run from qualifying to capture her second career title at the WTA tournament.

The 31-year-old beat Russian second seed, and French Open runner-up, Dinara Safina 7-5, 6-3 to clinch a timely boost ahead of Wimbledon which starts on Monday.

Safina earned the first break of the match in the ninth game for a chance to serve the first set out at 5-4, but the Thai broke right back and won 10 of the last 12 points of the set.

The second set remained largely on serve, but Tamarine earned the critical break in the seventh game before going on to wrap up the match.

"Maybe it was more difficult for Dinara, as she was seeded and playing really well lately, and I was coming out of the qualies; that could have put some pressure on her today," said Tamarine whose previous title came in Hyderabad in 2003.

"After she had the chance to serve out the first set I think her level fell a bit, and once I got to the second set I felt great, and that I could really win this match."

Tamarine now heads for Wimbledon where she has on six occasions reached the fourth round. She tackles the Czech Republic's Petra Cetkovska in the first round.

Safina said she wanted to put this defeat out of her mind as quickly as possible.

"I have to forget this match because I played some pretty good matches earlier this week and today was just not my day," said Safina.

"I want to give lots of credit to Tamarine, I think she played a solid match - but I want to forget this match as soon as I can. I'm leaving for London today, I'll have today and tomorrow off and then Wimbledon starts. So I will have to get ready for that."
