Julia Grabher reaches the final of the WTA-125 Challenger in Curitiba.
In the Brazilian metropolis, the 30-year-old comfortably won her semifinal against Julia Riera (WTA-140.) from Argentina with 6:3, 6:3.
In the first set, a break for the Vorarlberg native to 4:2 was enough, and she subsequently served out successfully.
Third Final of 2026
Grabher started the second set with two breaks, one of which Riera managed to get back.
A break to 5:2 allowed her to secure her spot in the final on her own serve. However, the Argentine didn't give up, breaking Grabher's serve to make it 5:3. But with a love game on Riera's serve, the Austrian secured her third final of 2026.
There, she awaits either the 16-year-old local player Nauhany Vitoria Leme da Silva (WTA-609.) or the Frenchwoman Alice Tubello (WTA-207.).
