FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — No. 1 Iga Swiatek has extended her winning streak against opponents ranked in the top 10 to 13 matches and opened her bid for her first WTA Finals title with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Daria Kasatkina in round-robin play. Swiatek has asserted herself as a dominant force in women’s tennis this season, claiming two Grand Slam titles and eight tournament trophies in all. Her 65-8 match record leads the tour, too. That includes a 5-0 mark against Kasatkina this year. This one was pretty much over at the outset, when Swiatek raced to a 3-0 edge. The next player to try to stop Swiatek will be either No. 4 Coco Gauff or No. 6 Caroline Garcia.
