In the first tournament as a duo, Laura Pigossi and Ana Candiotto won the title at WTA 125 in Cali, Colombia. The Brazilians played 2 sets to 0, losing just 4 games in the grand final (6/3 and 6/1), over favorites Nicole Fossa and Ekaterine Gorgodze, the tournament’s top seeds. The Brazilian tennis players had a perfect campaign in the tournament played on clay, without losing a single set throughout the competition.
This was the biggest title of Ana Candiotto’s career. At just 21 years old, she won her 14th doubles trophy. Also from São Paulo, Laura Pigossi, 31, reached the mark of 45 doubles titles. With 125 points added in Colombia, Pigossi should reach 83rd place in the ranking in the next update and Candiotto, in 230th place. Both athletes will reach the best positions on the world list in their entire sporting career.
