In the first WTA all-Polish final in history, one Magdalena stood supreme.
Magdalena Linette mastered Magdalena Frech 6-2, 6-1 to capture the Livesport Prague Open championship today.
It is Linette’s third career Tour-level title, including her first since she collected the 2020 Hua Hin championship.
The fourth-seeded Linette won 27 of 32 first-serve points and denied all four break points she faced in a clean 80-minute victory.
It wraps a week that saw Linette defeat Mona Barthel, Rebeka Masarova, fifth-seeded Viktoriya Tomova and top-seeded Linda Noskova before taking down the sixth-seeded Frech.
Linette rises to No. 41 in the Live Rankings as she aims to secure a seed for the 2024 US Open.
