In her third successive WSA World Tour title win, Whitlock beat Coline Aurmard of France in the final, one of three Frenchwomen she would play on route to claim the title.
The 18-year-old beat fellow teenager Julia Lecoq in the first round, followed by No7 seed Lotte Eriksen of Norway in the quarters, both 3-0. She continued her three-game trend throughout the competition, beating Laura Pomportes in the semi before defeating Aumard in the final.
Aumard, the No3 seed for the event, had earlier beaten No2 seed Olga Ertlova of the Czech Republic on her way to the final, but was unable to stop Whitlock in her challenge for the title. The final was closely fought, with Aumard pushing hard in the first, and later forcing a tie-break situation in the second game.
Ultimately though, the young world No32 was too good, and is surely showing a positive sign of things to come as she continues to rise up the rankings.Final
