Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska who escaped Russian bombings just over a week ago, fell short of a remarkable title victory at the Lyon Open after being beaten by Zhang Shuai in the final.
The 21-year-old, who arrived in Lyon last Saturday and spoke of being "woken up by bombs" when Russia invaded Ukraine three days earlier, was beaten 3-6 6-3 6-4 in the decider.
Yastremska said she would use her prize money of about £12,000 to aid Ukraine.
"It's been a tough week," she said.
Yastremska, draped in her country's flag, tearfully addressed the Lyon crowd and sent a message to her compatriots who remain in Ukraine.
