Australian teenager Joint wins first WTA title
Australian teenager Maya Joint claimed the first WTA title of her career on Saturday with a comfortable victory over Romania's Jaqueline Cristian in the final of the clay-court event in Rabat.
The 19-year-old, who also won the doubles title in Morocco, eased to a 6-3, 6-2 win to secure the trophy without dropping a set all week.
Joint benefited from 36 unforced errors and five double-faults from Cristian who has never won a tournament on the WTA Tour.
"It's been a fantastic week, even though the conditions today were difficult for both of us," said Joint who will face compatriot Ajla Tomljanovic in the French Open first round next week.
Her FIRST title on the WTA Tour 🏆👏
