Russian women’s players Daria Kasatkina and Liudmila Samsonova made it a title treble for their country at the weekend as they enjoyed success in the US on Sunday, following men’s star Daniil Medvedev’s triumph in Mexico one day previously.

Russian women’s number one Kasatkina clinched her first title of the season after battling back from one set down to defeat American rival Shelby Rogers in their final at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose.

Kasatkina prevailed 6-7 6-1 6-2 to earn a fifth WTA singles title of her career as the Russian moved into a career-best ninth spot in the updated WTA ratings on Monday.
