It has been a successful start to the year for Kenin, who claimed the doubles title alongside Eugenie Bouchard in Auckland before winning her maiden WTA singles crown in Hobart.
The loss ended Schmiedlova's run of three straight wins in WTA finals, with the defeat her first in a decider since February 2015.
