It will be a battle between two Swiss players in the final of the WTA 125 BLS de Limoges. Celine Naef will square off with Viktorija Golubic. Who will be the winner in the last WTA event of the season?
Celine Naef has beaten Dodin, Saito, Erika Andreeva, and Jacquemot on her path to the final. Naef has only dropped one set so far at the WTA 125 in Limoges. Golubic has gotten the better of Makarova, Bolkvadze, Monnet, and Parrizas Diaz on her path to the title match. Diaz retired early in the second set of the semifinal.
The 32-year-old Golubic is ranked at the 109th spot in the world. She has won 26 and lost 20 matches on the WTA tour this season. Her best ranking ever was at the 35th position early in 2022. Golubic has a shot at her second title of the season. She won the WTA 250 Jiangxi Open in November. That was her last entry before Limoges.
Celine Naef is a 19-year-old talent who has taken a leap this season. She is ranked at the 181st spot in the world. Naef has won 39 matches and lost 27 across all tours in 2024. Her best ranking ever was at 121 a year ago. She has never won a title on the WTA tour level. So this could potentially be her first.
Golubic is 13 years older than Naef and has much more experience. That experience could turn out to be a huge factor in the final of the WTA 125 BLS Open De Limoges. On the other hand, the teenager Naef has nothing to lose.
