Stephens, Bertens victoriously open round-robin play in Red Group

After Elina Svitolina and Karolina Pliskova recorded the first two victories in the White Group on Sunday, Sloane Stephens and Kiki Bertens were the first players to score winning points in the Red Group of the WTA Finals in Singapore on Monday, both prevailing in three sets.

Sporting the Court Top and Court Flouncy Skirt from Nike’s new winter collection, Stephens won the battle of the WTA Finals debutantes by overcoming Naomi Osaka, the player that inherited her at the US Open throne last month.
