In the Adelaide International final, Kasatkina defeats Bencic

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Belinda Bencic beat Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 6-2 on Saturday to win the Adelaide International women’s title, her sixth on the WTA Tour.

It took the 13th-ranked Swiss player just over an hour to defeat Kasatkina, who was eighth.

Bencic converted five of her seven breakpoints and won almost twice the points of the Russian who reached the semifinals before Bencic, who was impressive in reaching that stage before both women had walkovers to get to the final.
