The rivalry of the Russians in the final of the WTA tournament on grass in Hertogenbosch again fell on the side of Ekaterina Alexandrovawhich was imposed on Veronika Kudermetovafirst seed, and defends the Dutch grass tournament title he already won in 2022.
In the four previous matches between the two, victory has almost always gone to Kudermetova, the first seed and tenth player in the world. However, the only time Alexandrova won was last year at the same stage, where she prevailed 4-6, 6-4 and 7-6(3).
It took Alexandrova almost three hours to close out the victory and claim the fourth title of her career, her first of the year, and her second on grass and on Bolduque.
Kudermetova, who reached her first final in more than a year, was unable to complete the revenge she had hoped for and lost again to her compatriot to bring the number of finals missed in her entire career to five. The Kazan player has only one trophy, in Charleston, in 2021.
