Kiki Bertens defeated Elena Rybakina in the final at the Ladies Trophy in St. Petersburg to win her first title of 2020 season.
There was a lot of buzz around Kiki Bertens in the recent hours. First, she defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova to set up the final against Rybakina in St. Petersburg and then she withdrew from Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Both players met 7 months ago on the grass in the Netherlands where Bertens was victorious. The Dutch wanted to follow up on this victory also in Russia and she proved that with a sharp beginning to the match.
Rybakina managed to win the first game of the match but then she did not stand a chance. Bertens dominated the first set by winning it 6-1 and continued in a great performance also in the second.
Rybakina had up to 5 breakpoints in the second set, but she did not convert any. On the other hand, Bertens converted her only breakpoint in the 4th game to gain a break in the second set which she did not lose later. At the end, Bertens managed to win the set 6-3 to secure her first title of the 2020 season.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
