West Aussie Talia Gibson has capped off a perfect fortnight, winning the Perth International ITF W75 #2 Singles title\u00a06-2\u00a06-4 against Japan’s Eri Shimizu. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The win was Gibson’s second title win in Perth after winning the Perth International ITF W75 #1 against fellow West Aussie Maddison Inglis. The win will also move her closer to the top 100 of the women’s world rankings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After finishing runner-up twice in last year’s edition of the Perth International, Gibson responded in style going through the two weeks of competition undefeated.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s win capped off an incredible two weeks where Gibson also won the Perth International ITF W75 #1 Doubles title with Maddison Inglis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gibson started strong from the outset, winning five of the first six games, taking the first set 6-2. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The dominance continued in the second set and the match looked like it would near completion when Gibson went up 3-0, however Shimizu fought back breaking Gibson’s serve twice to take it to 3-3. Gibson would hold her nerve, breaking back and taking the second set 6-4.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“It feels amazing to go back-to-back, it’s been a great couple of weeks here in Perth, we’ve had some awesome weather, and I am super happy to be back again this year in Perth and play these tournaments,” said Talia Gibson after today’s final.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I didn’t need to change too much with my game since last week’s final. I’ve been working on playing my game, sticking to what I know best but most of all mentally was going to be the biggest challenge this week after a big week last week, trying to push through these matches and be as strong as I can.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I will look to have a little break, go back to Brisbane to train at the National Tennis Academy and then look to get into the upcoming WTA events then the Australian tennis summer.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
