Katerina Siniakova claims first WTA title at Shenzhen Open

Katerina Siniakova claimed her maiden WTA Tour title with a straight-sets win over Alison Riske in the Shenzhen Open final.

The talented Czech recorded a 6-3 6-4 victory over Riske in the decider in China on Saturday.

In her third final, it marked a first title for 20-year-old Siniakova, while it made it back-to-back defeats for Riske in Shenzhen deciders.

Riske has also lost four consecutive finals as her wait for a second title – and first since 2014 – continues.

“It was a really great week for me and I’m so glad I won this time because this match was really tough for me,” Siniakova said.

Congrats Katerina Siniakova! 👏
