Finale

Aryna Sabalenka vs Veronika Kudermetova : 6/2 6/2

Victoire facile de la Biélorusse qui était intouchable sur ce premier tournoi de l'année. Sabalenka empoche son 9e titre en carrière et atteindra la semaine prochaine le 7e rang mondial, son meilleur classement.

La réaction de la gagnante :

"I was doing everything I could in each match from the beginning, and I’m really happy to start this season with a title,"

"Every final is really something special, and I would say, finals are a different competition," "This final was really nice, and I would say a really fast game."

"I’m really proud that I was fighting no matter what," 

"Some matches, I didn’t feel my serve, some matches I didn’t feel my forehand or backhand, but I would just keep fighting, finding my shots, and that this is what I’m really proud of, and really happy with this title."
