The Polish no. 5 seed on Sunday beat Swiss player Leonie Küng 6-3, 6-2.

It was Linette’s second triumph in a WTA tournament. Last year she lifted her maiden WTA singles trophy at the Bronx Open in New York.

In 2019, Linette reached the semi-finals in Thailand, losing to the tournament’s eventual winner, Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska.

Polish player Katarzyna Kawa was last week knocked out of the Hua Hin event after losing 3-6, 4-6 to China’s Wang Qiang in the second round.
