The 2017 edition of the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global kicked off on Sunday with third seed Karolina Pliskova‘s win over fifth seed Venus Williams in the White Group.
Dressed in her new Fila Game Day collection, Pliskova opened the match with a confident hold of serve and continued to stride through the set, with her only hiccup being Williams’ rebreak in the fifth game which the American, debuting her purple EleVen Primitive Dots collection, quickly annulled by a bad following service game.
