Craybas comes close, but Radwanska wins Pattaya City

Jill Craybas took the second set of her final against number 1 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-1, then took the third set to a tiebreak, but did not prevail. Radwanska is the winner of the 2008 Pattaya Women's Open. I'm disappointed; I really wanted Craybas to win another tournament.

Radwanska def. Craybas, 6-2, 1-6, 7-6
