Returning after a long absence, Anhelina Kalinina rediscovered the taste of victory in Limoges. Between emotions, doubts and rebirth, the Ukrainian player secures a second crown in Haute-Vienne and a leap in the world rankings.
Elsa Jacquemot really believed she had her first WTA 125 title in hand. But facing an Anhelina Kalinina who was relentless in key moments, the Frenchwoman fell after a suspenseful battle lasting over two hours.
The Limoges crowd believed it: two Frenchwomen in the semifinals was possible. But only Elsa Jacquemot prevailed on Friday, after a stunning match. Friedsam, Bucsa, and Kalinina complete an unpredictable final four.
