Laura Samson (Czech Republic) – Oleksandr Oliinikov (Ukraine) [5] – 6:7 (4:7), 2:6
Oliynikova held the second face-to-face confrontation against Samson. In July, Oleksandra defeated Laura at the 1/4 final stage of the ITF W75 competition in The Hague.
Oliynikova extended her winning streak to nine matches. Before the tournament in Colina, Oleksandra became the champion on the courts of Tucuman, Argentina.
In Chile, in addition to Samson, Oliynikova also passed Elizabeth Mandlik, Sada Nachimana and Polona Herzog. In the final, the Ukrainian will play against third-seeded Leolia Jeanjean (France, WTA 106).
Oleksandra has already met Leolia before – at the end of March of this year, she lost to the Frenchwoman in the semi-finals of the 75,000-meter race in Vakaria. The decisive match in Kolin will take place on November 23 and will start no earlier than 23:00 Kyiv time.
Oliynikova will hold her third final at the WTA 125 tournament. She won the previous two finals – in Tolentino (in September) and Tucumán (in November).
Oleinikova is in the 102nd position in the WTA LIVE rating. From Monday, Oleksandra is guaranteed to update her personal record and has a chance to debut in the top 100 – for this she needs to win a trophy.
