Alison Riske staged a spirited rally to rule Linz.

Riske rallied through the final three games fending off lucky loser Jaqueline Cristian 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 to capture her third career title at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz.

Badosa: Keys to Staying Power

The eighth-seeded Riske collected her first tournament title since the 2019 's-Hertogenbosch.

The 31-year-old American maintained the depth of her drives and held her nerve down the stretch of a dramatic two hour, 24-minute final.

Since her US Open opening-round exit, Riske has posted a 12-5 record.




It was Riske's second final since the US Open. In September, Riske reached the Portoroz final losing to Jasmine Paolini.




Riske did not drop a set in five tournament victories en route to the title.
