Podrez completes the title run
Veronika Podrez won the W75 Petange title, beating Anna Siskova 6-2, 7-5 in the final on hard courts. Podrez entered the draw as the second seed with an official ranking of No. 127, while Siskova was seeded fifth at No. 170. Both advanced to the final from a 32-player field with no byes and eight seeds.
By the time the two had reached the semifinals, Umpiry's title model gave Podrez a 54.05% chance of the title and Siskova a 45.95% chance, with every other remaining player's chance reduced to zero. The final result matched the side the model favoured in that calculation.
A mixed week for the top seeds
Pigato, the top seed, went out in the round of 16, as did third seed Dalma Galfi, while fourth seed A. Sobolieva lost in the round of 32. Podrez's run to the title confirmed the form her ranking suggested in the draw. Before the tournament, Umpiry's model had rated Podrez the player with the highest title chance in the field at 9.43%, with Fiona Crawley next at 7.35% and Anna Siskova third at 6.7%; Crawley lost in the round of 16, while Siskova went on to reach the final.
