–

Coco Gauff battled through to earn the trophy in Beijing. But it was far from easy. Even if the final against unseeded Karolina Muchova was the most routine of them all.

Meanwhile, Muchova defeated Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen back to back. And she’s showing that she’s one of the best in the world, when she’s healthy.

Meanwhile, another 1000 – an old-school, one-week one – is under way in Wuhan with the final round of qualifying.

(Beijing and Wuhan are 12 hours ahead of EDT)
