While we're still indulging in food and drinks celebrating the New Year, WTA players are already in the heat of the competition and those that lifted champion's trophies at the dawn of the 2017 season are Karolina Pliskova, Katerina Siniakova and Lauren Davis.
At the biggest tournament in the first week of January, the $890,100 Brisbane International, third seed Karolina Pliskova raced past Alize Cornet 6-0 6-3 in the title match. The Czech won the first set in just 18 minutes and even though her French opponent recovered in the second set, Pliskova's serve did the talking and the victory is now taking her to No.
