Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland is back in the Top 100 after extending her winning streak to 12 straight victories and capturing the title at the last WTA 125 event of 2024.

Golubic hoisted the singles trophy at the Open BLS de Limoges in Limoges, France on Sunday. The 32-year-old finished the week with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over her 19-year-old compatriot Celine Naef in the final.

Golubic needed 1 hour and 46 minutes to overcome her fellow Swiss in the indoor hard-court final and claim her fourth career WTA 125 singles title. Golubic saved eight of nine break points in the clash between countrywomen.

The week caps off a stunning finish to the year for Golubic, a former World No.35 who made the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals. Golubic has won her last 12 matches, which includes her second career WTA 250 title in Jiujiang and two singles wins in Billie Jean King Cup Playoffs.

Golubic, who fell as low as No.168 in October, is the key mover in the updated PIF Singles Rankings for Monday, December 16th. With her latest title, Golubic rises 19 spots from No.109 to No.90.
