A doua partidă din runda a doua a Grupei Roşii la Turneul Final WTA a fost la fel de frumoasă ca prima, jucătoarele au dat ce au avut mai bun, şi-au ridicat probleme una celeilalte, dar în decisiv Sloane Stephens a fost mai puternică şi mai lucidă:
Sloane Stephens (SUA, 6 WTA) [5] – Kiki Bertens (Olanda, 9) [8] 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3
Partida a durat 2h20′.
În primul set, Stephens s-a desprins la 3-0 – un break înainte – dar după o serie de alte 3 break-uri între jocurile 5 şi 7, Bertens a prins-o din urmă la 4-4. De acolo, s-a câştigat repede cu serviciul până în tie-break, pe care americanca şi l-a adjudecat fără emoţii.
În schimb, manşa a doua a fost de la un capăt la celălalt a lui Bertens, cu ceva probleme la închidere – 4 mingi de set ratate la 5-1, pe propriul serviciu – rezolvate uşor în următorul joc, la primire.
Olandeza a început mai bine şi setul 3 – 2-0 – dar Sloane a reuşit o serie de 4 jocuri consecutive, avantajul astfel creat păstrându-şi-l până la sfârşit.
Clasamentul Grupei Roşii este acum:
| nr. victorii | setaveraj | puncte | premii (mii USD)* | ||

| 2-3 | Bertens | 1 | 3-3 | 375 | 283 |
