The 19-year-old Russian showed patience and poise Sunday to beat fellow teen Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 6-1 to win her first WTA event at the Volvo Car Open. It was the first final between two teens on the WTA tour in eight years. A rising star on tour, Kasatkina twice beat top-ranked Angelique Kerber this season. "I lose all this confidence because I am losing every tournament," Kasatkina said. It was only her third WTA final and her first on clay.
