Yulia Putintseva clinched her first grass court title at the Rothesay Classic in Birmingham, defeating Ajla Tomljanovic 6-1, 7-6(8) in the final. This victory marks Putintseva's third career title and her first since 2021. The Kazakh player had a strong performance throughout the tournament, having previously reached the quarterfinals in both Miami and Madrid earlier this year. Tomljanovic, who has faced numerous injuries in recent years, made a commendable run to her first tour-level final since 2019, but ultimately fell short against Putintseva. Tomljanovic's journey to the final included a victory over Anastasia Potapova, winning 7-6(5), 6-4. Putintseva celebrated her win with the Maud Watson trophy.
