Magdalena Frech's remarkable season continues to soar as she notched her first career Top 10 victory at the WTA 1000 Wuhan Open. The 26-year-old Pole outlasted world No. 8 Emma Navarro in a thrilling three-set battle, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
Frech's triumph marks a significant milestone in her career, having previously been 0-15 against Top 10 opponents. Her previous Top 20 wins this year included victories over Caroline Garcia, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Diana Shnaider.
The match was a testament to Frech's resilience and determination. After dropping the second set, she regrouped and regained control in the decider. "It was a really great battle," Frech said. "I just tried to stay calm during the two hours. It's my first Top 10 win, so I'm really happy."
Frech's success in Wuhan is a culmination of her hard work and dedication. She has consistently improved her game throughout the season, and her recent breakthroughs are a testament to her progress.
The Polish player's victory is also a significant moment for her country. Frech is the first Polish woman to defeat a Top 10 player since Agnieszka Radwanska in 2016.
Frech's performance in Wuhan has further solidified her status as a rising star in the WTA. She is now projected to move up to a career-high ranking in the top 25. With her newfound confidence and momentum, Frech will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming tournaments.
