The 23-year-old Spanish tennis player defeated Erika Andreeva in straight sets, 7-5, 7-6(3), to win the Andorra Open.

Bassols Ribera previously won against France’s Alize Cornet, German Noma Noha Akugue (6-3, 7-5), Russian Ekaterina Reyngold (6-3, 6-2) and Latvian wildcard Anastasija Sevastova (2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4) in the previous rounds of the Andorrà tournament.
Bassols Ribera, currently ranked 145, is expected to rise in the WTA rankings.
