A Strong Field Expected at the WTA 125 in Limoges: Krejcikova, Jacquemot, and Parks on the Schedule
In early December, two WTA 125 tournaments will be held in France. From December 1st to 7th, the registered players will meet in Angers, before a second event taking place from December 8th to 14th in Limoges. After the city in Maine-et-Loire, it is now the turn of the prefecture of Haute-Vienne to unveil the lineup for its 2025 edition, one year after Viktorija Golubic's victory against her compatriot Céline Naef.
Thus, several players who were already present in Angers the previous week will continue in Limousin. Barbora Krejcikova, Elsa Jacquemot, Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah, Alycia Parks, and Océane Dodin are registered for Limoges. Sonay Kartal, Cristina Bucsa (champion in 2023) and Anhelina Kalinina (winner of this tournament in 2022 but who has not played since June, even dropping out of the top 100) are also joining the participant lineup.
Among the other players expected in early December in Limoges, we find Zhang Shuai, Polina Kudermetova, Julia Grabher, Rebeka Masarova, Tamara Korpatsch, Antonia Ruzic, and also Katarzyna Kawa. The stakes will be high for the French players, as no Frenchwoman has won this tournament since Caroline Garcia ten years ago, in 2015, against Louisa Chirico.
