American titan Anisimova made a comeback, defeating Latvian rival Ostapenko 6:4, 6:3 in the singles final of the 2025 Doha Women's Open on the 15th local time, and won the WTA 1000-point tournament for the first time in her career.
Anisimova
"It feels great!" After two rainy timeouts, Anisimova has become the lowest-ranked champion in the tournament's history after two rainy timeouts and a fierce battle against the menacing Ostapenko, who is currently ranked 41st in the world women's singles spot. It feels like every race is tough and I'm very happy with my performance and level here, and to be able to win the first 1,000 points is really special. The 23-year-old Anisimova, who was out of the 200 seats 12 months ago, lost the Toronto 1000 points last summer, and is now on the top of the Qatari capital to break into the top 20 for the first time.
The 27-year-old Ostapenko fell short, especially in the quarterfinals, when she swept Poland's second seed Swiatek, who was aiming for four consecutive championships, and created a five-game winning streak before and after the match, which gave her a morale boost, but her performance in the final was abnormal, and she was the runner-up of the 1,000 points for the third time since Doha in 2016 and Miami in 2018.
