- French player wins tournament final 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 in Fort Worth
- Garcia climbs from outside top 70 in June to year-end world No 4
Caroline Garcia has continued her remarkable resurgence by winning the WTA Finals, the biggest title of her career. The French player defeated Aryna Sabalenka 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 with a serving masterclass in the tournament final in Fort Worth.
Garcia was ranked outside the top 70 in mid-June but has since won four titles and made the semi-finals of the US Open. The 29-year-old will now end the year as the world No 4, matching the career-high ranking she first reached in 2018.
