Viktorija Golubic (WTA 70) is enjoying brilliant late-season form, as she did last year. However, she also had a bit of luck in the final in China. She was already 3:4 down in the second set against Katie Volynets, who was ranked 37 positions lower, before she managed to turn things around.
The Californian was probably also experiencing a physical problem. After a short break, Golubic won the next nine points and shortly afterwards the second set. In the third, the Swiss player quickly took a 5:1 lead, but then began to tremble. After more than three hours, the 32-year-old from Zurich then used her second match point to secure an important victory.
In addition to two WTA titles, this is Golubic's fifth on the second-highest tour. She moves up six places in the rankings. The points are particularly important because the Swiss No. 2 has a lot of points to make up from her victories at the WTA tournament in Nanchang and the Challenger in Limoges by the end of the year.
