Karolina Pliskova won her third Brisbane International title in four years with a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 victory over Madison Keys on Sunday.
The second-ranked Pliskova is the first player, male or female, to win the Brisbane-based event three times after wins here in 2017 and last year.
Pliskova’s serve was again on rhythm as she won a tight first set and then took an early break in the second before Keys rallied to take the final to a deciding set. “I don’t think I played amazing tennis today and I was still right in that match, so a lot of very positive things to take away,” Keys said. “I was definitely very happy with, in tight, tense moments, just totally keeping my cool and moving on to the next point.”
