Linette saved all four break points she faced
in the 80-minute victory to earn her third career title, her
first on clay and first since 2020. Linette won 84 percent (27
of 32) of her first-service points and broke Frech's serve four
times in seven chances.
"I knew how tough it was going to be," Linette said. "I needed
to play my best to beat her -- I really have to play my best --
and I'm glad I took all my chances today."
