Now that was a number-one performance.
After her dominant 6-2, 6-1 semifinal win over defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska—which ran her record to 4-0 at the WTA Finals in Singapore—it looks like Angelique Kerber is once again back on track.
After reaching the top of the rankings, Kerber had some iffy performances, going just 5-3 in tournaments between the U.S. Open and the WTA Finals. Momentum clearly was not in her favor.
But after toughing out a grueling three-setter against Dominika Cibulkova, the German has settled into a groove, winning in straights over Simona Halep and Madison Keys before the Radwanska demolition.
