No. 16 seed Marta Kostyuk is having a serious week in Brisbane.
Could she get past world No. 1 and go all the way to the title? No, it turns out.
In Auckland, a hoped-for battle between the youngs (Alexandra Eala and Iva Jovic) in the final didn’t happen, as both lost in the semis.
So it was Elina Svitolina against No. 7 seed Wang Xinyu for the title. Her 19th.
(Brisbane is 15 hours ahead of EST, Auckland 18 hours ahead, Adelaide 15 1/2 hours ahead and Hobart 16 hours ahead)
