Alina Korneeva continues her unstoppable run at the end of the season. The young Russian player, a former junior Grand Slam champion, captured the ITF W75 title in Bratislava after defeating Czech player Lucie Havlickova 7-6, 7-5 in a thrilling final that confirmed her outstanding form.

With this victory, Korneeva — who trains at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar under the guidance of Anabel Medina and Joan Carles Alcalá — has now won 15 of her last 16 matches, an impressive streak that establishes her as one of the most in-form players on the ITF circuit. The title in the Slovak capital is her third trophy of the season, following triumphs in Évora and Leiria, both in Portugal.

Korneeva’s new success adds to the brilliant performances of the Rafa Nadal Academy men’s team, which has also recently celebrated three ATP Challenger titles: Dani Rincón, champion of the Rafa Nadal Open by Movistar; Martín Landaluce, winner in Orléans; and Abdullah Shelbayh, champion in Las Vegas.

A shared winning streak that reflects the hard work, dedication, and passion that define the day-to-day life at the Academy — and continues to bear fruit across both the men’s and women’s tours.

Congratulations to Alina Korneeva on her new ITF title!
