Diana Schneider won the WTA tournament in Hua Hin for the first time in her career. Ekaterina Alexandrova lost to the first seeded Jelena Ostapenko in the final.
The Russian woman will rise from 108th to 72nd place in the world ranking. After the Australian Open, some world tennis leaders took a break from their performances to prepare, in particular, for the representative “thousandth tournament” in Doha. However, many Russians chose to maintain their gaming tone and this week took part in tournaments in Linz and Hua Hin.
