The current number one Sabalenka ended Swiatek's WTA Finals campaign in the penultimate stage a year ago but lacked her usual lethal power in Cancun, as a flurry of forehand errors undermined her best efforts. The four-time major winner Swiatek wrested the momentum immediately when play resumed on Sunday, converting on a break point chance in the fourth game.

Swiatek kept her composure, putting up few errors as she converted on another break point with a mighty overhead smash in the seventh game.
