Italian Giorgi had upset home favorite and top seed Agnieszka
Radwanska in the semi-finals and was favorite for Sunday's
showpiece but the third seed was unable to produce her best
attacking tennis.
Giorgi also fell at the final hurdle in the Polish city last
year when she squandered a match point against France's Alize
Cornet.
World number 67 Schmiedlova recovered from an early break of
serve to win four straight games, clinching the first set in 47
minutes. She also battled back from behind in the second set.
