Coco Gauff won her second title this season at the China Open with a lopsided 6-1, 6-3 victory over Karolina Muchova in the final. Aged 20, the sixth-ranked U.S. player became the youngest China Open champion in 14 years.
Coco Gauff of the United States kisses the trophy after defeating Karolina Muchova of Czech Republic in the women’s singles final match at the China Open tennis tournament at the National Tennis Center in Beijing, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024.
It was Gauff’s eighth career title. She improved her record in tour finals to 8-1 and has now a 7-0 record in hard-court finals, a feat never achieved before in the Open Era. Gauff’s win in Beijing improved her chances of qualifying for the WTA Finals featuring the eight top players for the third consecutive year. With her title, she will overtake Jessica Pegula to take the No. 5 spot ahead of the final WTA 1000 tournament of the season, the Wuhan Open starting Monday.Top-ranked Jannik Sinner
Sinner will next play either No. 16-ranked Ben Shelton, who beat the Italian here last year, or Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain. The momentum was all with Sinner in the third as he broke Etcheverry twice more to advance in 2 hours, 39 minutes under a retractable roof on the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena. Due to heavy rain, play was restricted to the main court with all matches on outside courts postponed to Monday.
