The singles final is Laura Pigossi vs Tatjana Maria.

Both are qualifiers ranked outside the top 200. Maria has a CH 46 from 2017 but Pigossi's CH is 185.

Laura Pigossi along with Luisa Stefani won the bronze medal for Brazil in the doubles at the Tokyo Olympics.

Lost the MTB 9-11

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Oh what a shame. Exciting Championship tie break. Tara equally brilliant and awful, sadly it got away.

Darn. Did have chances in the second, game points when they were broken and break points at 4-5*.

MTB was pretty even, shame about the bad forehand from Tara at 7-7*, be it they saved two match points well only for Sharma to serve a second serve ace at 9-9*.

Gutted but a superb week, yes winning against pairs you'd probably expect to see in 25k ITFs rather than any top pairings, but you still have to get the job done, and can only beat whoever is on the other side of the net.

Welcome to the top 100 Tara. Been a long road, but delighted to see her there.

Drat cry cry cry Still at least Tara has made the top 100.

Aww pity. They got it back from *7-9 to 9-9* in the MTB but just edged out in the end.

Still a great week, reaching the final and both going to enter the top 100 for the first time.

The decision for Tara to serve first in the MTB was almost criminal in my view. Emina even switched ends to serve first at the start of the second set, so I don't understand why they did this.

This one's going to sting, besides the WTA title they would have been in touching distance of French Open with this.
