Angelique Kerber joined Dominika Cibulkova in the final of the WTA Finals with a dominant 6-2 6-1 victory over defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska, continuing a perfect week in Singapore.

Both sets in the match started with three straight breaks initiated by the top-seeded Kerber and both times the German added more breaks later, comfortably defeating the second-seeded Radwanska. Even though the Pole’s break point conversion was 100% (2/2), her serve was endangered 13 times and broken seven times. Twenty-eight unforced errors and unsatisfactory conversion rate at the net didn’t help either.

Cibulkova is the only woman who has taken a set off Kerber at the 2016 WTA Finals. Their head-to-head record is 4-4, with Cibulkova winning all their matches until 2013 and Kerber winning all their matches since then. (photos: Jimmie48)
