SHNAIDER PICKS UP MAIDEN WTA TITLE IN MONTEVIDEO
Diana Shnaider claimed her first professional title on the WTA Tour, defeating Leolia Jeanjean 6-4, 6-4 in the final of the WTA 125K Montevideo Open.
Shnaider’s first career title will see her rise to a career-high No. 109 on the live WTA rankings.

Despite falling short of the title, Jeanjean will rise to inside the top 110 of the WTA rankings for the first time in her career.
Shnaider really showed some nerve closing that out in straight sets, especially after Jeanjean clawed a break back in the first. That stat about Jeanjean serving seven double faults and only 49% on first serves kind of tells the whole story of the match. Speaking of rough numbers, this reminds me of when I mess around with the bad quality maker to make my tennis photos look like they were shot on a flip phone — sometimes the low quality version is just more fun. Anyway, excited to see if Shnaider can build on that career-high ranking.
