Although Venus was the top-seeded entrant headed into the Zhuhai tournament, she had her hands full with Pliskova. Williams raced out to a 4-1 lead in the opening set before Pliskova won the next three games to even the score. Pliskova led 4-2 in the second set and by the same score in the tiebreak before Williams mounted a comeback in order to capture the title. “It’s a great thing to be Top 10 now with the level of the game, but I’m still very hungry. I’m ready for more,” Williams said. “I’ve had so many experiences in tennis that I still expect a lot from myself. So I’m very happy to be moving forward, but I also want to continue and not stop here.”
