POINTS OF GAME

Caroline Wozniacki has a 2-0 lead over Madison Keys. Wozniacki's two victories proved very difficult in sets: at the US Open 2016 and at the 2017 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. Both players enter their first final of the 2019 season.

The first 14 competitions of the 2019 season have all been won by different players. This is the first time that this occurs. The record will continue to be extended to 16 Sunday, while the Volvo Car Open and Aberto GNP Seguros in Monterrey will be claimed by players who have not yet won a title this season.
