Kazakh tennis player Zhibek Kulambayeva has won a WTA 125 tournament in the Colombian city of Sopó, the website infohub.kz reports.
Kulambayeva partnered with Slovenia's Veronika Erjavec in the doubles draw. In the final, the pair faced Czech Laura Samson and Slovenia's Tamara Zidanšek.
The final proved a tense affair and ended in a three-set victory for the Kazakh-Slovenian duo — 5:7, 6:2, 14:12. After dropping the first set, Kulambayeva and Erjavec turned the match around, comfortably taking the second set before prevailing in the deciding tie-break.
The trophy is Kulambayeva's second at WTA 125 level. She claimed her first title at that level in September this year in Portugal, where she played alongside Australian tennis player Gabriella Da Silva Fick.
The win in Colombia was also Kulambayeva's eighth of the 2026 season. The Kazakh athlete continues to impress in doubles, adding to her collection of titles on the international circuit.
