"Chinese expert" Brinkova vs. "turnaround girl" Tagel, who will win the women's singles crown?
Tomorrow, the 2025 Jiangsu Open will witness its most anticipated finale - the women's singles final, featuring a showdown between "Chinese maestro" Anna BLINKOVA and Austrian rising star Lilli TAGGER, as they vie for the women's singles championship trophy of this edition of the Jiangsu Open.
In this tournament, Brinkova has consistently pulled off upsets against seeded players, advancing to the finals with an unstoppable momentum, bringing immense surprise and delight. In the round of 16, she defeated the sixth seed with a 7-6(3), 7-5 victory; in the quarterfinals, she further defeated the third seed in straight sets with 7-5, 7-5, demonstrating exceptional psychological resilience and ability to capitalize on crucial points. In the semifinals, she defeated her opponent with a solid performance of 6-4, 6-4, showcasing both her technical prowess and tactical execution. It's worth noting that Brinkova not only excels on the court but also possesses a remarkable command of Chinese. She has repeatedly given interviews in Chinese, bridging the gap with Chinese fans and earning widespread affection.
Tagel was also a surprise maker in this tournament. This 17-year-old Austrian player, who studied under the 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, constantly set new personal bests with her excellent explosive power and flexible tactical adjustment ability. On her way to the semi-finals, she continuously improved her best record on the WTA Tour with stunning performances, showing a competitive state that surpassed her age. In the semi-finals, she and the defending champion Golubic delivered a brilliant backhand duel. Despite facing a 2-5 deficit in the deciding set, she managed to come back from five sets down and achieve a stunning comeback, ultimately securing the victory with a score of 7-5 and advancing to the finals with a total score of 2:1, demonstrating her strong psychological resilience and ability to fight in adversity, and becoming the youngest finalist in the history of Jiangsu Open.
At the post-match press conference, Tagel could hardly contain her excitement: "I'm thrilled to have made it to tomorrow's final. As for the tactical arrangements against Brinkova, I need to discuss with the coach before making a decision." She also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the audience for their support: "I'm deeply grateful to every fan who was here today. I hope you'll continue to cheer me on in tomorrow's final!"

From a technical perspective, this match will be a peak collision of forehand and backhand skills - Brinkova's forehand baseline counterattack is powerful, full of explosive force and penetrating power; while Tagle is renowned for his exquisite one-handed technique and once again demonstrated his unique advantage in one-handed attack in the semi-finals. This final is not only a contest between two players competing for championship glory, but also a collision of two distinct tennis styles - Brinkova's experience and stability vs. Tagle's vitality and impact. Tomorrow, this upcoming peak showdown in Xun City will surely bring a perfect conclusion to the 2025 Jiangxi (Jiujiang) Tennis Open.
