Third-seeded Beatriz Haddad Maia rebounded from a first-set hiccup to record a 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 win over top-seeded Daria Kasatkina of Russia on Sunday in the final of the Korea Open in Seoul.
The WTA 500 singles title was the first of the season and fourth overall for Haddad Maia, who bounced back from a 26-minute loss in the first set to topple Kasatkina. The 28-year-old Brazilian won the match in one hour, 50 minutes to capture her first title since the 2023 WTA Elite Trophy Zhuhai.
