The line-up for the final of the WTA 500 tournament in Linz has been announced. It will pit Ekaterina Alexandrova against Dayana Yastremska, seeded 4th and 5th respectively.

The Russian put in a faultless performance in Austria. After a first-round bye, she dominated Aliaksandra Sasnovich (6-3, 6-2), Petra Martic (3-6, 6-2, 6-2) and then the tournament's top seed, Karolina Muchova (6-0, 6-4), in the semi-finals.

The world's 30th-ranked player will be playing for a 5th career title on Sunday, her first since Bois-le-Duc in 2023.

The Ukrainian, for her part, has not conceded a single set on her way to the final.

She successively eliminated Lucia Bronzetti (7-6, 7-5), Antonia Ruzic (7-5, 6-1), Maria Sakkari (7-5, 6-0) and Clara Tauson (6-1, 6-4).

She will be playing in her first final since Lyon in 2022, and will be looking to win her first WTA title since the Strasbourg tournament in 2019.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
