Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki easily beat Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 on Monday in the final of the rain-hit WTA Rogers Cup, one of the last tune-up events for the US Open.

The 20-year-old Wozniacki defeated the Russian in a Monday championship game which was pushed back a day after heavy rains washed out play over the weekend.

The second-seeded Wozniacki started the day by defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semi-finals.

Zvonareva, the eighth seed, also advanced earlier in the day when Belarus’ Victoria Azarenka pulled out of their semi-final match in the second set because of a blister on her foot.

Wozniacki is ranked second in the world and will likely be the top seed when the US Open starts August 31.

Wozniacki earned 350,000 dollars for her third title of 2010. She also won at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and in her home city of Copenhagen.
