Two-time Grand Slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) added her 16th WTA title to her trophy cabinet tonight with a straight sets 6-0 6-2 win over qualifier Monica Puig (PUR).
After a tight three-set-battle against top seed and world No. 2 Simona Halep (ROU) this morning, Kuznetsova backed up with ease, rolling through the first set in just 24 minutes.
Puig, playing in her first Premier level WTA final, found her feet in the second but her game deserted her again, surrendering the match with a double fault and handing Kuznetsova her first Sydney title.
In the women’s doubles final, Martina Hingis (SUI) and Sania Mirza (IND) fought back from a set and a break down for the second straight match to beat French duo Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia and secure their seventh straight title together.
