Romero Gormaz Claims Cali Open Title

Her straight-sets win followed a three-set semifinal that gave her momentum after a storm forced a fast turnaround for her final opponent.

Overview

  • Leyre Romero Gormaz beat Bianca Andreescu 7-6(4), 6-3 to win the Cali Open on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026.
  • Andreescu reached the final by beating Alice Tubello 6-0, 6-4 in a semifinal that was mostly played Friday and was halted by a thunderstorm when she led 6-0, 5-4.
  • Romero Gormaz reached the title match after rallying from a set down to defeat Julia Riera 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, a run that carried momentum into the final.
  • Match stats showed Andreescu converted four of 11 break-point chances in the final while Romero Gormaz converted six of 10, and Andreescu faced a quick recovery after finishing her delayed semifinal earlier the same day.
  • The tournament was a WTA 125 clay event in Santiago de Cali, and the outcome raises Romero Gormaz's profile at that level while underscoring how weather-driven scheduling can affect player performance.
