Maria Sharapova beat Li Na again on Sunday and defended her WTA Porsche Grand Prix title 6-4, 6-3.
Sharapova, the top-seeded Russian became the first player to keep the Stuttgart title since Lindsey Davenport in 2005.
"I thought it'd be the toughest match of the tournament, but I played my best tennis today. I was able to step it up," Sharapova said.
Li Na, second-seeded had a double-fault on match point, and another one earlier in the final game.
"I was under pressure on her return. She was aggressive," Li Na said.
Sharapova opened with a break that gave her a 4-1 lead before Li could pull back 1 break. But Sharapova overwhelmed her and closed the set with a service winner.
