MARGARET RIVER, Western Australia, Australia (Monday, May 10, 2021) - Filipe Toledo (BRA) and Tatiana Weston-Webb (BRA) claimed victory today at the Boost Mobile Margaret River Pro pres. by Corona, the fourth stop on the 2021 World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT). It was a massive day of action as Main Break turned on super clean four-to-six foot surf as the 2021 season saw two fresh faces holding the winner's trophies for the fourth stop of the season.

Tatiana Weston-Webb Claims Second CT Win, Jumps to World No. 2

Tatiana Weston-Webb (BRA) has earned the second CT event win of her career after besting seven-time WSL Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) in the Final. The 25-year old posted an excellent 16.23 two-wave score (out of a possible 20) to Gilmore's 15.00 for the win at Main Break in Margaret River.

I can't explain how incredible this feels. Steph is one of the best surfers of all time and was always someone I looked up to so much so it was incredible to come up against her in a Final. You don't often get to surf against a seven-time WSL Champion so this feels amazing. I'm just thankful I took a win after a second place finish at the last event.

said Weston-Webb

En route to her Final victory, Weston-Webb eliminated local hero Bronte Macaulay (AUS) in the Semifinals.

I want to say that this win is for the Macaulay family. I came up against Bronte earlier today and seeing her show up for her heat was so brave. I can't imagine what she has been going through. They are an amazing family with so much love and are such a big part of surfing here in the West and my condolences are with them.

continued Weston-Web

Following today's win, Weston-Webb has secured the best start to a CT season and now jumps to World No. 2 on the leaderboard. With the new Rip Curl WSL Finals format, Weston-Webb has put herself in a strong position to lock herself into the Final 5 for a chance to win the 2021 World Title.
