MSC Hamburg Ladies Open – Championship Preview

Lois Boisson vs. Anna Bondár | Sunday Final

Lois Boisson’s clay‑court coming‑out party rolled on Saturday as the French 21‑year‑old stunned No. 2 seed Dayana Yastremska 6‑1, 7‑6(5). Boisson broke serve three times and won 70 percent of second‑serve points, a huge leap from her season average of 52 percent. Her forehand controlled baseline exchanges, tallying 18 winners to 11 unforced errors. Sas Insider clipped Boisson +2.5 games and ML, citing her tour‑best 13‑3 record in three‑setters.

Anna Bondár required nearly 2 hours 40 minutes to rally past Kaja Juvan 5‑7, 6‑3, 6‑4. The Hungarian saved five of seven break points and feasted on Juvan’s second delivery, capturing 15 of 23 return points. Bondár’s heavy kick serve climbed above shoulder height in the Hamburg breeze, forcing short replies that she converted into 26 forehand winners.

Boisson and Bondár have never met. Boisson is 14‑1 on red clay since Roland Garros, while Bondár holds a 61 percent career win rate on the surface.

Irina‑Camelia Begu vs. Jil Teichmann | Sunday Final

Romanian veteran Irina‑Camelia Begu reached her first title match since Palermo 2022 by outfoxing countrywoman Jaqueline Cristian 6‑4, 6‑4. Begu saved nine of 11 break points and required five match points to close, leaning on a pinpoint kick serve that located Cristian’s backhand. Begu’s 73 percent first‑serve success has quietly powered her week; she’s been broken only five times in 38 service games.

Swiss left‑hander Jil Teichmann shrugged off a slow first‑set start to dismiss Sorana Cîrstea 6‑4, 6‑3. Teichmann strung together nine of ten games from 1‑3 down, mixing high‑margin moon‑balls with abrupt down‑the‑line changes. She saved four of six break points and won 11 of 14 rallies longer than nine shots. Sas Insider cashed Teichmann -2 games after noting Cîrstea’s 5‑12 record vs. lefties since 2022.

Begu owns a 2‑0 head‑to‑head edge (both on clay), but they haven’t played since Madrid 2020. Teichmann seeks her first trophy since Cincinnati 2019; Begu looks to deliver Romania’s first Iași champion.
