Venus Williams, Wozniacki to play for the title in Singapore

Caroline Wozniacki and Venus Williams will be the contenders for the WTA finals in Singapore.

Wozniacki

Caroline has impressed for the entire tournament in Singapore. IN the first 2 matches, the former world no.1 demolished Elina Svitolina (6-2 6-0) and Simona Halep (6-0 6-2). Then, in the third match of the Round Robin, Caroline had a fantastic start against Caroline Garcia to win the opener 6-0, but she surrendered the following 2 sets to lose the match 0-6 6-3 7-5 after being 5-3 up in the decider.

Wozniacki regrouped in the semifinal to play another great contest against Karoline Pliskova and beat the Czech 7-6 (9) 6-3.

Caroline has won only 1 event in 2017 (Tokyo), and she would be delighted to back it up with the Finals.


Venus Williams

Venus had an interesting run at the Finals. After being trashed by Karolina Pliskova in the opening match (6-2 6-2), she defeated Jelena Ostapenko after a rough 3 setter (7-5 6-7 (3) 7-5) and then she beat Garbine Muguruza 7-5 6-4. In the semifinal, the American edged die-hard Caroline Garcia 6-7 (3) 6-2 6-3.

After the match against the Frenchwoman, Venus commented

“Garcia has competed so well this whole tournament, and every time I thought I was getting close, she played amazing.  It’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings, but I’m not fat!

I’m going to be playing against one of the best players in the tournament, and another Caroline! It’s going to be like deja vu!” Venus added, laughing. “But I’m really happy, she’s a great friend, and I’m really happy that one of us will win tomorrow.”


The head to head

Venus leads Caroline 7-0 with the Dane winning only 1 set in their encounters. Still, Wozniacki seems to be the favorite to win the all thing.
