In the decisive third set, Svitolina made two breaks in a row. At 5:2 and on her own serve, she did not allow Gauff to close the gap and secured victory after almost three hours. The American had previously won the second round in a tie-break, forcing a deciding set.
On her way to the title, Svitolina defeated Yelena Rybakina (WTA 2), Iga Swiatek (WTA 4) and finally Coco Gauff (WTA 3). The current world number 10 has therefore beaten three better-ranked opponents over the past four days.
