Kaia Kanepi continued her hot streak on the ITF World Tennis Tour on Sunday, winning her third title in her last four tournaments at W25 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The 35-year-old Estonian saw off another in-form player in Mayar Sherif, who had won the biggest title of her career at W100 Charleston at the turn of the month, triumphing 6-3 6-2 in their first career meeting in the title match in Gran Canaria.

Kanepi has won 15 of her last 16 matches, having also collected titles at W25 events in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin and Istanbul. The only blotch on her recent record came in defeat to former world No. 20 Ana Konjuh in the first round at W25 Reims in late October.

Kanepi, who reached a career-high WTA ranking of No. 15 in 2012, is closing in on a return to the Top 100 for the first time since August, when she spent the last of the eight weeks of 2020 in which she has held a double-digit ranking.

Kanepi now has 22 professional singles titles to her name, including 18 on the ITF World Tennis Tour and four at WTA level.

While Estonia’s most successful tennis player was adding to her title haul in Gran Canaria, Latvia’s Kamilla Bartone won the first tournament held in Kanepi’s home country in 12 months at W15 Haabneeme.

Eighteen-year-old Bartone - the former junior world No. 6 - defeated Dutchwoman Stephanie Judith Visscher 6-3 6-4 to secure her first professional title in her first appearance in an ITF final.

Meanwhile, Joana Garland of Chinese Taipei continued her good run of form at W15 tournaments in Sharm El Sheikh. Almost a month after beating Katie Boulter to claim her first professional singles title, she followed up with a second triumph, beating Switzerland’s Lulu Sun 7-5 6-3.

Nineteen-year-old Garland has won 23 of her 27 matches since arriving in Egypt in early October.

Elsewhere, Romanian Andreea Amalia Rosca collected her second title of 2020 after defeating Italian Martina Colmegna 6-0 6-1 in the final at W15 Heraklion.

The 21-year-old world No. 517 has nine ITF singles titles to her name, having collected five in 2018 in a standout year that took her up to a career-high ranking of No. 210.
