Casey Dellacqua has won her second ITF title in two weeks, while Isaac Frost has captured his first Futurese title of the year in Darwin.
Dellacqua defeated Japanese seventh seed Akiko Omae in straight sets 6-1 6-2. The fourth seed in Darwin, Dellacqua had to contend with the number one seed Olivia Rogowska and the sixth seed Pemra Ozgen on her way to the final.
Dellacqua added the Darwin ITF title to her win in Cairns last week as the former top 40 player works her way back towards the top 100.
The win propels Dellacqua from 275 to 229, giving the West Australian a positive ending to a season that has been interrupted by injury.
Frost, meanwhile, won his first Futures title for the year in Darwin when he ousted sixth seed Nick Lindahl in the final, 6-1 4-6 6-4.
The win comes off the back of some good form for the world No.598, who was a semifinalist in the Cairns Pro Tour event last week.
The twenty two year old has slashed more than 400 spots off his ranking in 2011.
