Katerina Siniakova wins the Japan Open, beating Ashlyn Kreuger 6-1, 6-0
OSAKA, Japan (AP) — Katerina Siniakova, from the Czech Republic, secured her first singles championship in three years, defeating American Ashlyn Kreuger with a decisive 6-1, 6-0 scoreline at the Japan Open on Sunday.
The breakthrough came after Siniakova broke Kreuger's service six times throughout the match, which lasted just 64 minutes. This victory marks Siniakova's sixth career singles title and her first since capturing the Jiangxi Open in Nanchang, China, back in 2023.
At 30 years old, Siniakova is more renowned for her prowess in doubles, boasting an impressive 39 career doubles titles, including the U.S. Open women’s doubles championship she shared with Taylor Townsend last month.
This triumph in Japan came nine years after Siniakova's initial singles title win in Shenzhen, China, back in 2017.
