Elina Svitolina won the biggest title of her career by defeating
2017 US Open champion and
2018 French Open finalist Sloane Stephens 3-6 6-2 6-2 to win the 2018 WTA BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore. Svitolina still has not reached a major final despite being in the Top 10 of the WTA tour for well over a year; her win here leaves her at World #4 for the 2018 season. Both Svitolina and Stephens were undefeated in round robin play to reach the semifinals, with Stephens defeating
Karolina Pliskova (despite losing the first set 6-0!) and Svitolina outlasted the surprise semifinalist
Kiki Bertens in three sets to reach the most important match of the year.
