After losing the first set to the Czech, Kontaveit fell 0-3 behind in the second set with Martincova breaking her twice. But the Estonian made a remarkable recovery, drawing level at 4-4 and then breaking her opponent for a third time in the set to force the deciding set.

Martincova was the first to break in the third set as well taking a 3-4 lead, but the second seed won three games in a row to win the match 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.

Following the win, Kontaveit is now 24-12 this year. Last year she had reached seven finals wining four of them. This year, she has reached three finals, winning the title in St. Petersburg and finishing runner-up in Qatar and Hamburg.

Having lost in the quarters in the Prague Open and the second round at the Canadian Open, Kontaveit had come into the tournament on the back of two consecutive defeats. She would be happy to have returned to winning ways and will look to build from here.
