WTA Finals: Venus Williams falls to Wozniacki

By Daily Sports on October 30, 2017

American Venus Williams suffered an embarrassing defeat to Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki at the WTA Finals in Singapore.

Williams - at 37, the oldest woman to ever reach the final - lost 6-4 6-4.

After a tight first set, number six seed Wozniacki stormed into a 5-0 lead in the second.

Williams then won four straight games but Wozniacki, 27, converted her second Championship point to beat the American for the first time.

"I couldn't be happier right now," said Wozniacki, who slipped to 74th in the rankings last year as she struggled with injury problems.

"It's been an amazing year. Last year was tough with injuries but I fought my way back and to stand here and win the title means a lot to me."

Victory in Singapore brought Wozniacki the biggest title of her career

Fifth seed Williams went into Sunday's final with a 7-0 record against Wozniacki stretching back to 2007, and having won just one set against the American.

The world number five has been in fine form this year and was a finalist at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

"I didn't seem to come up with my best tennis until it was too late," said Williams. (BBC)
