LOS ANGELES - Amelie Mauresmo outlasted Mary Pierce 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4 in a marathon baseline slugfest to win the WTA Championships on Sunday for the biggest title of her career.

Mauresmo double-faulted to trail love-40 in the final game, but rallied on five consecutive errors by Pierce in the first all-French final of the season-ending tournament.

When Pierce's cross-court backhand went wide, Mauresmo fell to her knees and clapped her hands to her head as the crowd erupted in applause. She got up and met Pierce on the sideline, where they embraced and Pierce whispered in her ear and kissed Mauresmo's cheek.

She earned $1 million for the victory; Pierce received $500,000.

For more than three hours, the women jerked each other from side to side, with Mauresmo changing up speeds and Pierce artfully using drop shots to keep each other on the run.

Pierce and Mauresmo broke each other once in the first set, which Pierce won on Mauresmo's netted backhand.

They traded breaks again in the second, when Mauresmo blew a 4-1 lead and failed to cash in two break points on Pierce's serve in the 10th game. Pierce's cross-court backhand winner helped her hold at 6-all.

In the tiebreak, Mauresmo won three straight points to take a 4-1 lead. Pierce closed to 5-3 before her forehand failed and Mauresmo hit a winning backhand to even the match.
