Elizabeth Mandlik of Boca Raton defeated Whitney Osuigwe of Bradenton, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3 in the singles final at the inaugural USTA Women's 35 Palm Coast Open on Saturday, Jan. 18, on the clay tennis courts at the Southern Recreation Center.

Earlier, Jamijn Gimbrere of the Netherlands and Lisa Zaar of Sweden won the doubles final against Ayana Akli and Abigail Rencheli, both of the United States, 6-4, 3-6, 10-8.

The singles final, originally scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 19, was moved up a day because of rain forecasted for Sunday.

Mandlik, ranked 277 on the world tour, is the daughter of four-time grand slam tournament singles champ Hana Mandlikova. Mandlik, 23, cracked the top 100 in world ranking at 97 in 2023. She won her eighth pro circuit title.

Gimbrere is ranked 269 and Zaar 259 in doubles. Zaar won 110 college singles titles at Pepperdine University before graduating last year.

The USTA Men's 15 Palm Coast Open begins on Jan. 27.
