( CNN ) -- World number one Dinara Safina 's wait for her first grand slam title continues , after she was beaten in straight sets by compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final of the French Open at Roland Garros . Kuznetsova kisses the French Open trophy after her comprehensive victory over Dinara Safina . Safina , who has reached the top of the world rankings despite not having a major title to her name , looked completely out-of-sorts against her fellow-Russian , who secured a comfortable 6-4 6-2 victory in just over an hour . The defeat was a crushing blow to Safina , who has long had to contend with the accusations that she is not a worthy world number one , and this third grand slam final defeat will do nothing to silence the doubters . It was the second straight year she has lost in the final here , after going down in straight sets to Ana Ivanovic of Serbia last year . It was also her second successive grand slam final defeat having lost to Serena Williams in the Australian Open in Melbourne earlier this year . Seventh seed Kuznetsova , 23 , was collecting her second grand slam title following her victory over another Russian , Elena Dementieva , in the final of the 2004 U.S Open . The victory also atoned for Kuznetsova 's 2006 final defeat to Justine Henin . `` It was so many years since I won a grand slam and I thought it would never happen again , '' Kuznetsova said in a court-side interview after her victory . `` Today when I was coming onto the court I knew everything was going to be fine . It was the same as when I won the U.S. Open , '' she added . In cold , damp and overcast conditons , Safina started strongly , breaking her opponent to win the opening game . However , she quickly relinquished that advantage by dropping her first service game , that included a double fault and two unforced errors . Both players had trouble holding their serves in an edgy opening set and at 4-5 down , Safina dropped the set when hitting a forehand into the net . Kuznetsova held serve to open the second set and games went with serve until the sixth game when a sixth double fault gave Kuznetsova the edge . She broke for the fourth time in the match shortly after when Safina blasted a forehand wide and long . Kuznetsova held serve to make it 5-2 and then her pressure on the Safina serve paid dividends again with a seventh double fault on match point . Despite the result , Kuznetsova said she believed Safina was a worthy world number one . `` She 's done so well , and she 's number one so she 's a better player than me at the moment , '' Kuznetsova said on Eurosport . `` Today she was tired and had so much pressure on her but I want to wish her the best of luck for the future .
