Coco Gauff triumphed with the WTA 1000 China Open title
The American tennis talent Coco Gauff, currently ranked sixth in the world, clinched the prestigious WTA 1000 China Open title in Beijing. In the final match, the fourth seed Gauff triumphed over Karolina Muchova (Czech Republic), winning decisively with a score of 2-0 (6:1, 6:3) in just 76 minutes.
Coco Gauff showcased her prowess by completely dominating the first set. In the second set, she rallied from a 0:2 deficit, winning six out of the next seven games to secure the championship.
At just 20 years old, the American tennis player has become the youngest champion in Beijing in 14 years. She is also the second American to win this tournament, following Serena Williams’ victories in 2004 and 2013.
After the match, Coco Gauff expressed her admiration for Karolina Muchova, saying, “I want to congratulate you, Karolina. It’s wonderful to see you back on the court. You are an incredible player and truly deserve all the success. I hope to see you in many more finals.”
This victory marks Karolina Muchova’s second title of the season and the eighth of her career. She began 2024 by successfully defending her title at the WTA 250 ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand. In Beijing, she added her second WTA 1000 title to her collection, having previously won her first in Cincinnati last summer.
In doubles, the Italian duo of Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini won the title, defeating Chan Hao-ching from Taiwan and Veronika Kudermetova from Russia with a score of 2-0 (6:4, 6:4).
