Anett Kontaveit will face Simona Halep in the Transylvania Open final and if she wins she will not only lift the trophy but also book a spot in the WTA Finals.
It's been an amazing couple of weeks for Anett Kontaveit who demonstrated impeccable tennis skills over a span of several events. She won two of those and with a chance to win a 3rd the Estonian has a lot to play for. If she wins, she will secure a spot at the WTA Finals in Guadalajara which would be a first for the Estonian. She has already secured a top 10 place on Monday but she needs to win if she wants to go to Mexico.
On playing back-to-back finals, Kontaveit said:
"Physically is not easy, but I have been playing some good tennis. I am happy with the way I’ve managed to get through this week. I have a lot to play for, it’s something to really enjoy and go for."

The opponent is not going to be an easy one with a red-hot Simona Halep waiting. The Romanian has been trashing everyone en route to the final and on that Kontaveit said:
"Either way it going to be a tough match. Simona is such a great player, I lost to her quite a few times, but I really think I am playing more consistently, playing a little better. It will be a tough battle."
Kontaveit could knock Ons Jabeur out of the WTA Finals with a win against Halep today and due to that there has been a lot of memes online about the Race with Kontaveit noticing it as well. On that she said:
"Yeah, they’re great. I’ve seen a few comments that she’s made or I I’ve made. She congratulated me after Moscow. Me and Ons we known each other for a very long time and we’ve always gotten along really well, it’s a bit of fun."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
