Fifth seed Maya Joint had an easy sailing to the WTA Seoul final, where she will face off with second seed Kimberly Birrell. For both players, this will be the first tour-level final this season, and they are meeting for the first time in their careers as well. Both finalists have been superb in the week, and our prediction is for more than 2.5 sets.
Despite being on a losing record for the season, Maya Joint could be returning home with another WTA tour-level title. She has compiled a 16 -22 run for the season, and before this, she had only reached as far as the quarter-finals.
The Australian enters this match sitting 82nd in the live ranking.
Birrell has continued with her progression at this event and will hope to end this one with a title. In her first appearance she could only get to the second round.
The second showing in 2023 had her race end at the quarter-final stage. After three years out, she is back and just a match away from the title.
A three-set win against Anna Bondar in the semis has her record at this tournament hitting 8-2 ahead of the final. Birrell has had near misses in earlier events, reaching two semis before finally breaking through to a first final.
She arrived here on a losing run, but hardcourts being her stronghold in the season, she is on a 27-24 record, sitting 42nd in the live rank.
