The singles final of the UniCredi Iasi Open between Paula Badosa and Mayar Sherif will take place on Monday after heavy rain doused the third-largest city in eastern Romania all throughout Sunday.<\/p>\n
The final pits two players who have rediscovered their top form on clay courts against each other. Former World No. 2 Badosa is on a nine-match winning streak, having won the WTA 125 Nordea Open last week, while Sherif beat two seeds — No. 9 Yulia Putintseva in the quarterfinals and No. 3 seed Oleksandra Olinyikova in the semis — to reach her fourth career singles final at tour level.<\/p>\n
Both Badosa and Sherif are contesting their first WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz singles final at the WTA 250 level or higher since 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In between the rain on Sunday, Anastasia Detiuc and Irina Khromacheva defeated Alina Charaeva and Zhibek Kulambayeva to win the doubles title 4\u20136, 6\u20132, [10\u20135].\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. 3 seeds Detiuc and Khromacheva first linked up in May, and reached the semifinals in both Rabat and ‘s-Hertogenbosch before giving eventual Wimbledon champions Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic all they could handle in the third round at the All England Club — leading by a set and a break before losing.<\/p>\n
