A bridge too far for US’ Stephens

– Sloane Stephens was disappointed but proud with her performance in Singapore after the American started well before fading to a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 defeat by Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina in the WTA Finals title match on Sunday.

Making her debut at the season-ending championship, Stephens ended pool play with a spotless 3-0 Red Group record and eased past Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber in the semifinals. – Reuters
