October 2016 WTA Breakthrough Performance of the Month Finalists:
Daria Gavrilova: One of the tour’s fastest rising stars had an October to remember. The Russian-born Aussie kicked off the month with her first win over a reigning No.1, defeating Angelique Kerber in Hong Kong. Gavrilova took that momentum into Moscow to reach the final of the Kremlin Cup in both singles and doubles with partner and good friend Daria Kasatkina.
Johanna Konta: Konta made her biggest breakthrough yet on the WTA level, reaching her first Premier Mandatory final at the China Open. Seeded No.11 in Bejing, Konta upset No.5 seed and US Open runner-up Karolina Pliskova and No.8 seed Madison Keys en route to the championship match, where she fell to Agnieszka Radwanska.
Peng Shuai: Impressive though her resume had been, a WTA singles title had long eluded 2014 US Open semifinalist Peng Shuai, who missed most of the 2015 season due to a back injury. Upsetting Venus Williams in Beijing, Peng rolled into the Tianjin Open high on confidence, finally winning her first WTA title.
