Russian Mirra Andreeva, the No 3 seed, beat Canadian Victoria Mboko, the No 8 seed, 6-3, 6-1 to win the Adelaide International trophy on Saturday night.
It’s her 4th career WTA singles title (4-1 record in WTA singles finals).
“Thanks to me” Andreeva laughed during the ceremony. “I wanna thank myself for being brave on all the matches I played. I wanna thank myself for pushing myself every day on practices the last few weeks. I wanna thank myself for changing my mentality for fighting til the very last point.”
“For doing what I gotta do. Doing what my team tells me to do, sometimes with complaining, but it’s okay. I guess thanks to me and thanks everyone again.”
Andreeva, ranked No 8, defeated No 9 seed Diana Shnaider (6-3, 6-2), Australian Maya Joint (6-2, 6-0) and Czech lucky loser Marie Bouzkova (6-3, 6-1) ahead of her victory.
In the previous rounds, Mboko, ranked No 18, defeated Australian wildcard Kimberly Birrell (6-2, 6-1), American Madison Keys, the second seed (6-4, 4-6, 6-2), Russian Anna Kalinskaya (6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (6)) and Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia (5-7, 6-3, 6-2).
