WTA: Karolina Pliskova beaten – Second victory for Elina Svitolina in Singapore

Elina Svitolina celebrated her second success at the WTA final in Singapore. The Ukrainian defeated Karolina Pliskova from the Czech Republic in three sets.

Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki has maintained her chances of reaching the semi-finals of the WTA season finals in Singapore. The Australian Open winner from Denmark defeated her compatriot Petra Kvitova 7:5, 3:6, 6:2 in the White Group after her opening defeat against Czech Karolina Pliskova.

Elina Svitolina celebrated her second victory in the city-state. The Ukrainian won against Pliskova with 6:3, 2:6, 6:3 and pushed the door to the knockout round wide open. If he had won two sets, Svitolina would have qualified early for the round of the best four.

Before the final games of the White Group, all four players have the chance to enter the semi-finals. On Thursday Wozniacki will meet Svitolina and two-time Wimbledon winner Kvitova will play against Pliskova.

The two best players of the White and Red Group, in which Wimbledon winner Angelique Kerber (Kiel) wants to avoid the threatening early end against US Open champion Naomi Osaka (Japan) on Wednesday, move into the semi-finals on Saturday. There are seven million dollars to be won at the tournament of the best eight players of the season, which will take place for the last time in Singapore.
