Andreeva reached the final with two top 10 players, No. 2 Swiatek and No. 7 Rybakina, and she was separated by Tauson, who eliminated No. 1 Sabalenka. The combined age of the two players is only 39 years and 351 days, making them the youngest women's singles final matchup since the WTA introduced the 1000-level event in 2009.


Although this was an "encounter" between the two sides, Andreeva took the initiative in the opening game, but then Towson quickly adjusted to complete the breakback, and Andreeva won six points in a row to get the set point and take the lead 7-6 (1). In the second set, Andreeva became more and more courageous, and after winning five games in a row at the end of the match, she won the women's singles championship 6-1 and won the women's singles championship at the highest level of her career.

At the age of 17 years and 299 days, Andreeva became the youngest WTA1000 women's singles champion in history, and after accumulating 1,000 points, she jumped to No.9 in the world rankings and broke the top 10 mark for the first time. Speaking at the medal ceremony, Andreeva said that today's match was not easy, but she chose to give 100 per cent to the fight, for which she needs to thank herself: "I know what I've been up against, I just want to thank myself, thank me for always believing in myself, for never giving up and always resisting pressure. ”
