Tecnifibre player Timea Babos, Hungary’s World Number 3 in the Junior rankings, celebrated her 16th birthday with victory in the singles final of a $10,000 tournament in Edinburgh, Scotland. En route to the final, Babos rather comfortably swept aside all who opposed her on court in straight sets, including a semi final win over 7th seed, Volha Duko from Belarus. In the final she took on Britain’s Naomi Broady, the tournament’s No. 1 seeded player and looked to be on course for yet another straight sets victory when she took the opening set 64. Broady, however, fought back to level the match with a 7-3 tiebreak success in the second set. With both players now just one set away from victory another very close set was played out and was eventually won by Babos 10-8 on a tiebreak. Babos’ 64 67(3) 76(8) win in this final, which was held up on several occasions due to rain, gave her a first career singles title on the ITF Pro Circuit in what was only her second professional tournament.
Timea plays with Tecnifibre T-Fight 295 V02 Max racket.
