Daria Kasatkina wins St. Petersburg final

Final in St.Petersburg.

2021 St. Petersburg Ladies’ Trophy a WTA 500 tournament, on Hard Indoor, in St. Petersburg, Russia, 15-21 March 2021.
2020 champion (not defending):
Kiki Bertens (2) who defeated Elena Rybakina (8) 6-1 6-3


Final :


Wildcard Margarita Gasparyan (Russia) v Daria Kasatkina (8) (Russia)


Three breaks of serve in the first four games, and Kasatkina led 4-2 with serve to come.

Comfortable holds from the pair, highlighted by some stunning Gasparyan forehands, then led to Kasatkina serving for the opening set.

Three errors from Gasparyan gave Kasatkina three set points. One saved with a forehand winner. Another when Kasatkina hit long. But the single handed backhand from Gasparyan failed on the third, and Kasatkina led 6-3.


Set two started with Kasatkina breaking immediately, a backhand return winner assisting. A Gasparyan forehand winner was not enough.

The eighth seed couldn’t consolidate, a double fault and loose shots causing her to drop serve.

Powerful shots from both wings put Gasparyan ahead 40-0, but a double fault and unforced errors brought it to deuce. A Kasatkina forehand winner gave her a break chance, but it was erased. More errors and a second break point was converted thanks to a double fault.


Sadly, Margarita Gasparyan had to retire due to a back injury.

Daria Kasatkina won the final 6-3 2-1 (retired).


Fourth WTA career title (2 this year) from seven finals for Kasatkina.

Zverev d Tsitsipas for Acapulco title

Final in Acapulco.

2021 Abierto Mexicano Telcel an ATP 500 tournament, on Hard Outdoor, in Acapulco, Mexico, 15-20 March 2021.
2020 champion (not defending):
Rafael Nadal (1) who defeated Taylor Fritz 6-3 6-2


Final:


Stefanos Tsitsipas (1) (Greece) v Alexander Zverev (2) (Germany)


Tsitsipas started better, breaking the German’s opening serve and leading 4-1, with two break points for 5-1.

However, Zverev steadied, held serve, and won 12 of the next 15 points.

Serving for the set, Zverev saved a break point before sealing it 6-4.

Eight games sailed by in set two without blemish on either service record, the only two break points saved by Tsitsipas.

Zverev broke in the ninth game, but failed to convert a match point in the tenth, and Tsitsipas seized the opportunity, levelling at 5-5.

In the eventual tie break, Zverev raced to 6-2, and he needed only the second of his four more match points to take the title 6-4 7-6(3).


It was the 14th title from 23 finals for Zverev. Despite his performances over the past 52 weeks, including capturing the ATP Finals trophy in November last year, the flawed current rankings system has him still placed behind Federer who in the same period has played just two matches.

Final in Dubai.

Novak Djokovic (1) who defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas (2) 6-3 6-4


Final:


Wildcard Aslan Karatsev (Russia) defeated qualifier Lloyd Harris (South Africa) 6-3 6-2


Karatsev was outstanding throughout the tournament, and put his stamp on a wonderful week with another memorable performance in the final.

The Russian, who began 2021, ranked 112, but stunningly made the Australian Open semi final as a qualifier, only to be stopped by Djokovic, broke the Harris opening serve in both sets, and was never broken himself.

He will now move to a ranking of #27 thanks to his first ATP title in a debut final.

Harris, in his second career final, has done enough to jump 29 spots to a career high ranking of #52.
