Third-seeded Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic overcame a poor start to win the season-ending WTA Elite trophy with a 6-4 6-2 victory over Elina Svitolina in Zhuhai, China on Sunday.
After losing her opening three service games, Kvitova won five straight games to take the opening set.
Kvitova carried the momentum into the second and dispatched the fourth-seeded Ukrainian in 1 hour, 10 minutes to claim her 19th career title.
The result completed a dominant week for Kvitova, who dropped just 18 games in her four matches.
Kvitova has reached six finals in the WTA’s Asian swing, winning in Wuhan and Zhuhai.
The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Elite trophy is a year-end event involving the 12 highest ranked women who did not qualify to play at the WTA Finals in Singapore last week.
