What Happened at the 2019 Ladies Open Lugano?
Polona Hercog went on to clinch the title after she overcame Iga Świątek in the title-decider, 6–3, 3–6, 6–3.
In a stunning result, only one of the seeded players, Vera Lapko qualified for the quarterfinal of the 2019 event and even she lost that round in straight sets, leaving unseeded players as the four semifinalists.
Among the bigger names in the competition, Belinda Becic, the top seed, crashed out of the tournament in round one losing to qualifier Antonia Lottner.
Elise Mertens, who had started the 2018 competition as the second seed defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final in straight sets after what proved to be a clinical performance by the Belgian.
Bertens started her campaign in the tournament against Mandy Minella and then moved on to defeat the likes of Marketa Vondrousova, Mona Barthel, and Vera Lapko before setting up the clash with the Belarusian.
As for Sabalenka, she had a fairly easier path as she dispatched the likes of Mihaela Buzarnescu, Polona Hercog, Camila Giorgi, and Stefanie Voegele.
The likes of Kristina Mladenovic, Anett Kontaveit, and Svetlana Kuznetsova also participated in the competition, but they lost in the first round itself. This paved way for upcoming stars like Vogele and Lapko, who made it to the semifinals.
