The win is Van Uytvanck’s second of the season (Budapest) and improves her career record in championship matches to 4-0.
On the ATP Tour, Dusan Lajovic captured his second-career doubles title with partner Nikola Cacic at the Chengdu Open in China. Lajovic and Cacic defeated Jonathan Erlich and Fabrice Martin in an epic one-hour, 41-minute thriller 7-6(9), 3-6, 10-3. Said Lajovic of the duos’ first title together, “We’ve known each other for 20 years and we are best friends. Sharing the court is a special thing… We shared everything together and that is what makes it more special.”
