Women’s Singles
- 2024: Zeynep Sönmez
- 2023: Camila Girogi
What Happened in the 2024 Edition of the WTA Merida Open?
Zeynep Sönmez was 22/1 odds to win the title in Merida before coming into the tournament but she proved those odds wrong by grabbing her maiden competition win on the WTA circuit with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Ann Li in the final.
Having defeated Maria Lourdes Carle in three sets in the opening round, Sönmez then eased past Elsa Jacquemot in the second before stunning the top seeded Renata Zarazua in the quarterfinals. She defeated Alina Korneeva in the semifinal to set up a title decider against Li.
Incidentally, none of the seeded players made the semifinals, while only one seed – Zarazua – managed a place in the last eight stage.
The surprise win for Sönmez came on the back of an underwhelming year otherwise having registered her career Grand Slam best of an opening round exit at the French Open and not making it past the opening round at any of the other WTA 1000 tournaments either (she made her main draw debut in a WTA 1000 event in Qatar in 2024).
What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the WTA Merida Open?
In what was the first ever edition of the Merida Open, Camila Giorgi won the title by overcoming another unseeded player and qualifier Rebecca Peterson in the final.
Giorgi shrugged off a poor showing in the second set to clinch the final 7-6 (3), 1-6, 6-2 to grab her fourth career title, the first since the 2021 Canadian Open and her last before her retirement from competitive tennis.
What was impressive about her title win was that the Italian had come into the tournament as an unseeded player and went on to rout three of the seeds on her way to the victory. This included a double-bagelling of the second seeded Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals.
