American 3rd seed, Coco Gauff , was crowned Wuhan Open tennis champion in China. Gauff secured a hard-fought, straight-sets win over her 6th-seeded compatriot, Jessica Pegula, in the final.
Gauff was playing in her third WTA 1000 final of the season and was the favourite to add another piece of silverware to her trophy cabinet. But Pegula, who beat top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-final, wasnt going to go down without a fight.
Gauff again struggled with her serve, but hit 24 winners to 13, to record a 6-4, 7-5 win over her compatriot and friend.
