Karolina Pliskova beats Petra Martic in Zhengzhou Open to win her fourth title of 2019

Martic, who held a superior 4-1 head-to-head record against Pliskova and also beat her at Roland Garros earlier this year, took a 2-0 lead in the first set when she broke the top seed in the opening game. However, that was the only time Pliskova conceded a break of serve and she soon took control with powerful groundstrokes, using the full width of the court to smash winners and passing shots with precision. Martic's service game suffered -- she won only 53% of her first service points -- and Pliskova duly took advantage to punish the seventh seed and win five games in a row. Pliskova's consistency in the baseline rallies was a force to reckon with and Martic had no answer to her superior court coverage, eventually conceding the 96-minute match after saving one championship point.
