The world number 31, who had not won a WTA title in nearly a year, secured her maiden WTA title since the Japan Open in October. This victory marked Fernandez's sixth WTA title of her career.\n\nFernandez overcame a shaky beginning, facing a set point against the unseeded Gibson. However, she remained composed and went on to win nine consecutive games, taking the opening set 7-5. In the second set, Gibson struggled with errors, committing several unforced mistakes and dropping her first three service games. Fernandez pressed the advantage and served for the match, sealing the win with a crucial return into the net.",
