Annette Kontaveit She is the best tennis player in the women’s arena. So say the results. This Sunday, at the WTA 500 in Moscow, she won the Category Two title last month. He has already done so in Ostrava. It was the fourth wound of his career and third of the season, tied in the rankings with Barbora Krijkova and only surpassed by Ashleigh Barty by five.

The Estonian tennis player, a ninth favorite in the tournament, returned from the final in which he measured the local level Ekaterina Alexandrova To close a favorable sign of 4-6, 6-4, 7-5.

Alexandrova got match service with a score of 5-4 in the tiebreak sleeve. Kontaveit’s confidence appeared at that time, as he managed to weaken 21 of his last 23 matches in his favour.

That’s why he’s re-engaged in the fight for the last two tickets to the Guadalajara Women’s Masters (November 10-17). Annette is 231 points behind Paula Padusa, who is currently participating in the teachers’ competition and 139 points behind Anas Jaber..

The Tunisian will now be at home due to the confirmed loss of top seed, Ashleigh Barty. Jaber plays next week in Courmayeur, where she is considered the top seed. He will appear for the first time with Russian Vitalia Dyachenko.

Kontaveit has been targeted in Cluj-Napoca, where Padusa has been deleted. The Catalan hopes to pass the ball to the masters without having to play.
