On her Instagram account, Aliaksandra Sasnovich (WTA 67) decorates her best from a fashion perspective in many articles. The 25-year-old Belarusian has now made a top appearance at the WTA-125k tournament in Limoges, France, from a sporting perspective. The right-handed woman from Minsk defeated the Belgian Greet Minnen (WTA 115) in the semifinals of the $ 115,000 hard court tournament in France and entered her third WTA final. Sasnovich, who won the final against Caroline Garcia at the Open de Caen invitation tournament in early December, can claim her first title on Sunday in the Limoges final (4:00 p.m.) on Sunday. In addition, with a premiere tournament win, position 59 in the ranking.
Her upcoming opponent Ekaterina Alexandrova (WTA 42) would have something against it. The Limoges number one player, who beat US American Nicole Gibbs (WTA 142) 7: 6 (6), 6: 2 in the semifinals, is the favorite in the match. The 25-year-old Russian has a tournament win ahead of Sasnovich and is much better placed in the ranking. In addition, the defending champion of the tournament against the Belarusian has not lost in two previous comparisons.
