This spring, Rakotomanga Rajaonah made her tour debut in Rouen as a qualifier and posted MD wins over Lucia Bronzetti and Jaqueline Cristian to reach a QF in her first attempt. Soon after, the 19-year old Pastry made her slam debut at RG (a 1st Rd. exit), and in June played in her first $100K final (she lost to fall to 0-3 in '25 ITF finals). She later made her U.S. Open qualifying debut (dropping her first match). But this week in the first edition of a women's event Sao Paulo, in just Rakotomanga Rajaonah's third career tour-level MD, she skipped over quite a few steps and simply took home her maiden tour singles title.
What a shot to win a first tour-level title ????

French teenager Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah clinches the Sao Paulo championship, defeating Janice Tjen 6-3, 6-4! pic.twitter.com/DG4zJGiJt4
The French woman was thrown into a battle right away, making it out of the 1st Round as she rallied from 5-0 down in the 3rd (saving 3 MP) vs. Ana Sofia Sanchez. After that escape, Rakotomanga Rajaonah never lost another set, reeling off straight sets victories over Victoria Rodriguez, Panna Udvardy, Renata Zarazua and Janice Tjen in a 6-3/6-4 match-up of first-time WTA finalists. The Pastry rises 83 spots (more than she has letters in her name, which has 32, BTW) to a new career-high of #131 on Monday.

ARANGO ????

The Colombian beats Jacquemot in straight sets for a spot in the final in Guadalajara ??#GDLOpenAKRONxSantander pic.twitter.com/kctJzj7TAn
Mexico isn't in South America, but apparently it's *close enough* for Colombian Arango to feel right at home. Earlier this season, the 24-year old reached her maiden tour-level singles final in Merida. It didn't go well, as before Amanda Anisimova made it "cool," Arango lost a title match by a 6-0/6-0 score. Only she didn't do it vs. the likes of Iga Swiatek, for which one might be quickly forgiven as it can be expected on some days, and instead fell in such fashion to Emma Navarro. While it took just two months for Anisimova to make good on *her* "rebound," Arango had her own six months past her ignominious moment, reaching her *second* tour final this week, once again in Mexico (Guadalajara). Just like Anisimova, Arango didn't win the title in attempt #2, but she *did* get five games off Iva Jovic in a 6-4/6-1 match, even while likely not feeling her best in the contest. Hopefully, she won't have to wait for the tour to swing back around to Mexico again for attempt #3 to come to fruition.

Jacquemot joined Bartunkova as a first-time WTA semifinalist in Guadalajara, stringing together victories over veterans Maria Sakkari, top seed Elise Mertens and Tatjana Maria. She fell a round short of the final with a loss to Emiliana Arango. Jacquemot has had a breakthrough season at the slam level in '25, as the '20 RG girls' champ (who'd been 1-6 in a major MD before '25) recorded four total wins across the RG-WI-US stretch (reaching the 3rd Round in Paris). The Pastry will jump 20+ points in the rankings on Monday, cracking the Top 65 for the first time.
