After scraping out a marathon one-hour-and-13-minute first set in a tie-break, the No.7-seeded Schmiedlova broke away from 3-all in the second set to finish off the No.1-seeded Errani, 7-6(3), 6-3.
She broke the former French Open finalist at love to close it out after two hours and seven minutes. It was the second WTA title of Schmiedlova's blossoming career, her first coming earlier this year on the indoor hardcourts of Katowice, Poland, where she beat giant-killer Camila Giorgi in the final. Schmiedlova's win over the No.20-ranked Errani was also the first Top 20 win of her career.
"I still cannot believe I won, because it was a really tough match and Sara Errani is an amazing player," Schmiedlova said in her post-match press conference.
"I knew she'd be playing really well, and I knew it would be tough to focus on each point today because we would have really, really long rallies.
