Amanda Anisimova is set to break into the WTA Top 20 for the first time after securing the most significant title of her career at the Qatar TotalEnergies Open. The 23-year-old American triumphed over Jelena Ostapenko in a rain-interrupted final, winning 6-4 6-3.
Anisimova’s path to the title was nothing short of impressive, with victories over Victoria Azarenka, Paula Badosa, Leylah Fernandez, Marta Kostyuk, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and lastly Ostapenko. This win marks her third career WTA singles title and her first since the Melbourne Summer Set 2 in 2022.
