India, Nov. 9 -- Magda Linette produced a remarkable comeback to overcome defending champion Janice Tjen and capture the Chennai Open 2026 women's singles title. The Polish third seed recovered from a set down to secure a 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 victory in the final at the SDAT Tennis Stadium.

Linette's triumph ended a wait of more than two years for another WTA singles title. The 34-year-old also denied Tjen the opportunity to become the first player to successfully retain the Chennai Open crown.

The Chennai Open women's final was originally scheduled for Sunday but was pushed back by a day after rain and poor air quality disrupted proceedings in the coastal city.
