the brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia rounded out the best week of his professional career in conquering the tournament title Nottinghamthe first achievement on the WTA circuit after fighting the American push Alison Riske (6-4, 1-6 and 6-3).
The 26-year-old player from Sao Paulo, seventh favorite, put aside inexperience in the decisive moments of big tournaments. Prior to Nottingham, the South American had only once seen himself in this situation. And that was five years ago, in Seoul 2017, when she lost to Latvian Jelena Ostapenko.
Haddad Maia took two hours and twenty -one minutes to beat the American, a player with a touring background who decided to win the grass tournaments. In fact, she faces her sixteenth final, third on the grass and second, certainly, in Nottingham after losing to Czech Karolina Pliskova in 2016.
It doesn’t get much better this time around for Riske who is aiming to get the fourth trophy of his career. He was able to calm the Brazilian’s initial push and had a good reaction that leveled the match and carried him to the final round. But the Brazilian was not willing to miss another good opportunity and ended up tying the fight, the victory and the trophy.
Haddad Maia released his history and the best ranking. It left Nottingham as thirty second in the world. I have never been so high in rank.
