Renata Zarazúa Captures Austin WTA 125 Title, Climbs Back Into Top 70

The win caps a career-best year marked by Grand Slam progress alongside second-tier titles.

Overview

  • Zarazúa defeated Canada’s Marina Stakusic 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to win the Abierto de Austin in Texas.
  • The trophy is her third championship at the WTA 125 level, which is a secondary circuit below the main WTA Tour.
  • The victory adds 93 ranking points and moves her to roughly world No. 70 with about 944 points, according to reports.
  • The season highlights include a US Open upset of world No. 6 Madison Keys and Mexico’s first Australian Open women’s main-draw match win in 25 years.
  • Two days before the title run she reported abusive messages on Instagram, a problem the WTA and ITF say they track through a social media monitoring service.
