Stephens, Pliskova both stumble at Kremlin Cup
Print Edition
Sloane Stephens and Karolina Pliskova were both eliminated from the Kremlin Cup yesterday, with the latter result ensuring that Elina Svitolina has qualified for the WTA Finals.
The fifth-ranked Pliskova lost to Russian veteran Vera Zvonareva 1-6, 2-6, holding serve only once in the match in Moscow. Because of the loss, Svitolina will play in the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore. Pliskova can still qualify, but she could also be overtaken by Kiki Bertens. Stephens lost to Tunisian Ons Jabeur 3-6, 2-6. The third-seeded American lost her opening service games in each set. Stephens, the 2017 US Open champion, sealed qualification for Singapore last week after a strong season which included reaching the French Open final.
