Andreeva powers to Adelaide International title

After dropping the initial three games, Andreeva won the next nine en route to collecting her fourth WTA title.

The 18-year-old produced a blend of power and precision to overwhelm Mboko, who sought medical attention during the final.

With Andreeva on her nine-game winning stretch and leading 3-0 in the second set, a stressed Mboko had her blood pressure measured courtside.

With temperatures around 30 degrees in the roofed arend and having had a trio of three-set matches entering the decider, Mboko  had a cold towel placed around her neck.

The 19-year-old world No.17 - she started last year ranked 350th - continued playing after her medical time-out and won the next game on serve to halt Andreeva's dominant stretch.

But the Russian, who last year won consecutive WTA 1000 titles and at 17-years-old became the youngest WTA 1000 champion since the tier began in 2009, soon closed out a comprehensive victory, winning in just 64 minutes.
