Magdalena Frech met all challenges in Guadalajara.

The fifth-seeded Frech fended off Australian qualifier Olivia Gadecki 7-6(5), 6-4 to capture her maiden WTA title at the WTA 500 Guadalajara Open.

An inspired title run saw Frech beat Emina Bektas, Ashlyn Krueger, Marina Stakusic, fourth-seeded Caroline Garcia 7-6(4), 7-5 in the semifinals and Gadecki in the final.



"Australian Open fourth round, the final in Prague, and the title here, it's the most amazing year of my career for sure," Frech said. "I'm super proud about my achievements this year, it's really amazing."

The title run propels the 26-year-old Pole to a new career-high ranking of No. 32

"Hard work from the previous years is paying off right now, and I'm so glad about this. I will try to keep this momentum going," Frech said.
