MOSCOW — Julia Goerges ended her six-year wait for another WTA singles title Saturday with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Daria Kasatkina in the Kremlin Cup final.

Goerges cruised to victory against her Russian opponent, who was ranked one place below her at 28th.

The German swept the first five games of the first set before Kasatkina could even get on the board.

Kasatkina put up more resistance at the start of the second, forcing three break points in Goerges' first service game, but couldn't convert them and was broken next game.

Goerges is now 3-7 in career singles finals, with her last title in Stuttgart in 2011. Before Saturday's match, she had lost six straight finals, including three in the space of two months this summer.

Dimitrov to face Del Potro

Grigor Dimitrov took a step closer to qualifying for the ATP Finals in London Saturday after setting up a Stockholm Open final showdown with Juan Martin del Potro.

World No. 8 Dimitrov, who is chasing one of the four remaining berths for next month's eight-man season ending tournament, beat flamboyant Italian Fabio Fognini 6-3, 7-6(2).

The Bulgarian, who won the tournament in 2013, will face defending champion Del Potro in Sunday's final after the Argentine beat Fernando Verdasco 6-7(4) 6-4 7-6(1).

Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem have already secure places in the London finale.

Tsonga on comeback trail

French No. 1 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga qualified for the final of the Antwerp ATP Saturday beating local player Ruben Bemelmans 6-3, 6-3 to show his knee injury is now behind him.

It will be Tsonga's first final in five months, although it comes in a tournament light on top talent as the 32-year-old seeks to gain fitness and confidence.

He is next due to play at the Vienna Open starting Monday and then the Paris Masters the following week.

On Sunday, Tsonga goes up against Diego Schwartzman of Argentina who beat the 19-year-old Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-5 in the second semifinal.

Witthoeft bags first title

Germany's Carina Witthoeft defeated Olympic champion Monica Puig of Puerto Rico 6-3, 7-5 Saturday to claim her first career title at the Luxembourg WTA tournament.

The 22-year-old, world No. 73, was playing in her first final of the season having previously notched up her best performance of 2017 by reaching the semifinals in Budapest in February. — Agencies
