After Ostapenko, Sevastova strikes another Latvia blow
Print Edition
ANASTASIJA Sevastova won her first trophy since 2010 on Sunday when she captured the Mallorca Open, becoming the second Latvian in two weeks to clinch a title after Jelena Ostapenko’s Roland Garros triumph.
The 27-year-old world No. 19 defeated Germany’s Julia Goerges 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to add the Mallorca grasscourt crown to her maiden title at Estoril seven years ago. Sevastova had finished runner-up at the Spanish event in 2016, losing to Caroline Garcia, but she avenged that loss against the Frenchwoman in the semifinals this year. “It’s my second final here. I won, but it was a tough match. I hope the tournament will be back here next year,” said Sevastova, who took a two-year break from tennis between 2013 and 2015 before returning.
