It was Yastremska’s first final since losing to Ash Barty in the 2020 Adelaide International. She rode a wave of perseverance to get past Ana Bogdan, Cristina Bucșa, Jasmine Paolini and Sorana Cîrstea to get to Zhang before her run finally came to an end.
"All this week I’ve been fighting here in court not just for myself but for my country and … I’m very happy still with the finals because it’s been a long time since I have played in the finals, and today I think didn’t have enough emotion and was pretty tired," she said."But the crowd here and these people and since I’ve just arrived here it’s been amazing.
