Julia Goerges wins her 2nd title of the season in Luxembourg after defeating Belinda Bencic in straight sets.
The final was even with both Julia and Belinda playing their best tennis. Eventually, the only difference was a break per set in favor of the German. The most crucial moment of the match was the 11th game of the 2nd set after the German broke her opponent following a gigantic game before Julia won the contest 6-4 7-5 in 90 minutes.
Belinda Bencic
The Swiss was still happy for her tournament since she reached the final starting from the qualifications. This means that Belinda had to win 7 matches before the fight against the German. Belinda commented
“It’s not a surprise that she’s a Top 10 player. Today, I think she was just too good and serving too well. I think we did an amazing job with seven matches won here.
This tournament is so special for me because it was my first WTA tournament when I was 14 years old, and the next year when I was 15, in the main draw.”
Bencic 9 places up
After this week Belinda will go 9 places up to be the new world no.37. 2 years ago, she reached a world no.7 rank. She is going for it once more.
