Wozniacki had some nervy moments after 37-year-old Williams, the tournament's oldest ever finalist, clawed her way back from 0-5 down in the second set. "I am so happy I managed to win in the end," said Wozniacki, describing the victory as "really sweet". After an even start, she seized control of the final by breaking four straight times across the sets to lead 5-0 in the second set. Wozniacki, in her first WTA Finals since 2014, flourished in Singapore, with a tough three-set defeat to Caroline Garcia her only slip-up. She will remain the world number five after playing in her first WTA Finals since 2009.
