WTA - Petra Kvitova wins WTA Championships
Istanbul, Turkey - Petra Kvitova had many highs against Victoria Azarenka and a few mental lapses that turned into lows in the final of the WTA Championships at Istanbul, Turkey. Overall, Kvitova dictated play during most of the match and I could see her finishing as #1 player in 2012 if she stays healthy and can work on consistency. Petra finishes the season as #2 player in the world and Victoria Azarenka claims the #3 spot.
Doubles - Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond took out the top seeds Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik in the double final. It's Huber's 48 WTA doubles title and Raymond now holds and incredible 74 doubles titles.WTA CHAMPIONSHIPS (Draw)
