Overview
- Linette recovered from a set down to beat defending champion Janice Tjen 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 in the final held on Monday at the SDAT Tennis Stadium.
- The match had been delayed from Sunday after persistent rain and then postponed again because heavy smog and poor visibility made play unsafe.
- The title is Linette’s fourth career WTA singles crown and her first since the Prague Open in July 2024, capping a week in which she twice overturned set deficits including in the semi-final against Anastasia Zakharova.
- Tjen had entered the final as the top seed and defending champion seeking the first successful defence of the Chennai title but fell short in the deciding set.
- The tournament closed with an Indian doubles milestone as Vaishnavi Adkar and Rutuja Bhosale became the first all-Indian pair to reach a WTA doubles final, and organisers said this was the last WTA 250 Chennai Open with plans to pursue WTA 125 events in 2028.
