Fernandez Downs Gibson to Claim Singapore Open Crown
Fernandez beat first-time finalist Talia Gibson 7-5, 6-0 and earned her sixth WTA singles title and second WTA 500 crown.
On Sunday, Canadian Leylah Fernandez defeated Australian Talia Gibson 7-5, 6-0 to win the Singapore Open at the OCBC Arena, claiming her sixth WTA Tour singles title.
Fernandez's championship run included notable victories over French Open winner Mirra Andreeva and Roland Garros runner-up Maja Chwalinska, marking her second WTA 500 crown after her 2025 Mubadala DC Open win.
While Gibson challenged early, twice recovering from service breaks, Fernandez steadied herself to take the opening set 7-5 before winning nine consecutive games to dominate the second.
Gibson's maiden tour-level final appearance ended in defeat after committing several unforced errors in the second set, having reached the showpiece following Tatiana Prozorova's semi-final withdrawal.
The Singapore Open triumph marks the 24-year-old's first title since the Japan Open in October, while both players earned significant ranking boosts from their performances.
