Iga Swiatek battled back from a disastrous start to win the Korea Open on Sunday, beating Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova 1-6, 7-6 (7-3), 7-5 in the final.

The world No. 2 dropped the opening set after an error-strewn performance drastically out of keeping with her dominating form this week in Seoul.

World No. 11 Alexandrova was two points away from winning the title, but Swiatek came back to level the match after a tiebreak before finding her rhythm in the third set.
