It was Kasatkina's fifth career WTA singles title and her first
this year.
Each player broke serve twice in the first set, but Rogers broke
Kasatkina's serve three times en route to the tiebreaker win.
The Russian then stormed back to break Rogers' serve four times
over the last two sets while never losing her own serve.
Kasatkina is ranked 12th in the world.
