- World number one Iga Swiatek collected her eighth title of the year with a 6-3 3-6 6-0 win over Croatia's Donna Vekic in the San Diego Open final on Sunday.

"I wanted to go all in," Swiatek said of her approach going into the deciding set of the new WTA 500 event. Swiatek got the first break of serve of the match in the opening set when Vekic, who had to complete her rain-interrupted semi-final earlier on Sunday, sent a backhand long for 4-2. However, Vekic refused to go down without a fight and leveled the match on the strength of her powerful serve and groundstrokes.
