Diana Yastremskaya gave way to Catherine Alexandrova in the first set, in the second - the Ukrainian woman took the initiative. In the last party, it started powerfully, but allowed the rival to compare the score and then to victory. Ukrainian tennis player Diana Yastremskaya was not able to win the title at the WTA 500 in the Austrian Linza, giving way to the final match of "neutral" Catherine Alexander.

The match lasted 2 hours 13 minutes and ended with the victory of the rival with a score of 6: 2, 3: 6, 7: 5, reports "Public Sport". The first set began for Yastremskaya not in the best way: she lost her own filing twice, which allowed Alexander quickly to take control over the game and to make a victory in a party with a score of 6: 2. The second set began even more difficult for the Ukrainian woman - she had to catch up with the rival when 0: 3.

However, Yastremskaya was able to make an incredible cabec, winning six games in a row. The third set began in favor of the Ukrainian woman, who confidently led 3: 0. However, Alexandrova found the strength to play, and in the end of the duel, when Yastremskaya was a step towards victory at 5: 4, she realized the fifth match and torn out - 7: 5. It was already a sixth meeting between Yastremskaya and Alexandrov, and by this point, the Ukrainian won the "neutral" rival three times.

During the award ceremony, the Ukrainian woman thanked everyone who cheered for her and noted that the tournament was emotionally difficult for her because of a rocket attack on her native Odessa, which happened during the competition. "A few days ago there was a massive attack on Odessa, this is my city. And emotionally it was quite difficult for me to play in the finale today. I tried to hide it . . .

But in any case I want to thank everyone in Ukraine again! I am very proud of Our country, "the tennis player said. The finale in Linza was the first for Yastremskaya at WTA level since April 2022, when she fought for the title at the Lyon tournament, but gave way to Chinese Zhang Shuay. The last Ukrainian won the trophy in 2019, when she became a champion of competitions in Strasbourg.
