From the second game, Alexandrova won 11 points in a row to secure a quick 4-0 lead. She added another game on her service, and had an opportunity to win the set 6-0 as she had another break point and set point on Sasnovich's game. She did not convert it and won the set 6-1.

In the second set, it was a good beginning again for the Russian. She led 3-1 and later 5-2. Although she lost her service game, she broke her opponent to win the set 6-3. After a really dominant performance, Alexandrova lift the trophy in Limoges. She does have a one more chance to add another trophy as she plays the final in doubles with Kalashnikova.
