Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina book WTA Finals spots in Singapore


Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina have qualified for the WTA Finals to complete the field for next week's tournament in Singapore.

Pliskova was left sweating after losing 6-1 6-2 to Vera Zvonareva in the second round of the Kremlin Cup but Kiki Bertens needed to make the semi-finals to deny her and she then lost her second-round clash 6-3 4-6 6-3 to Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Bertens may yet make it, with world number one Simona Halep struggling with a back injury. Caroline Wozniacki, Naomi Osaka, Sloane Stephens, Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova are the other qualifiers.
