“I need some time still to really realize, because I had so many matches for the last two days and it’s been really, really tough physically,” the Ukrainian said after the match. “Today was very hot, so I’ve been really struggling. I’m just very happy that it’s finished – and with a title, it’s even more special.”

Svitolina won the last eight games of the match from 4-4 in the first set to raise her third Premier 5 trophy of the season, and fifth overall.

The 22-year-old Ukrainian earned $502,000 for the victory.
