Gavrilova thrashed in Kremlin Cup final

Australia’s Daria Gavrilova has lost her maiden WTA final in straight sets to Svetlana Kuznetsova, who has claimed second straight Kremlin Cup title.

The Russian took a little more than an hour to defeat Gavrilova 6-2 6-1 in Moscow on Saturday, which qualifies her for the WTA finals in Singapore.

Kuznetsova will next face world No.3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in Monday’s group stages.

Melbourne-based Gavrilova, playing in her home town of Moscow, made it to her first WTA final after dispatching Germany’s Julia Goerges 7-5 6-1 in the semis.
