Conchita Martinez of Spain won the Paris women’s open Sunday, defeating Patricia Tarabini of Argentina, 7-5, 6-3.

“It was a very hard final for me because Tarabini has a way to play which is very different from other players,” Martinez said.

The 18-year-old Spaniard, who reached the French Open quarterfinals in 1988 and the finals of the European Open in 1989, has been less successful recently.
