KLIPPAN, Sweden – SaVannah Cosme won three straight matches to qualify for the gold-medal finals of the 2025 Klippan Lady Open in the Senior division. Cosme has drawn 2024 Olympian and 2018 U20 World bronze medalist Johanna Lindborg of Sweden in Sunday’s championship match.

Cosme opened with a pin in 4:04 over Eyleen Sewina of Germany. In the quarterfinals, she edged Canada’s Ella Doornaert, 6-5, the beat 2022 European bronze medalist Natalia Kubaty of Poland in the semifinals, 8-1.

Cosme, a 2022 U20 World Team member, has already had significant success at the Senior level in her young career. She was third at the 2022 Bill Farrell Memorial International and fourth at the 2024 World Team Trials Challenge Tournament. She has twice placed at the U.S. Senior Open, placing fifth in December 2023 and sixth in April 2023.
