China’s Wang Xiyu claims maiden WTA title in Guangzhou after defeating Magda Linette in final

The Hindu  

China’s Wang Xiyu captured her maiden WTA Tour title on Saturday as the world number 88 powered past Magda Linette 6-0, 6-2 in the final of the Guangzhou Open, the first elite women’s tournament in the Asian nation since 2019. A dream becomes reality 🏆⭐️ Xiyu Wang captures her first-ever Hologic WTA Tour title on home soil! I think there’s going to be bigger tournaments, tougher matches waiting for me and I’m just trying my best like I did this week.” Wang is the third Chinese champion this season after Zhu Lin and Zheng Qinwen - the first time since 2006 that the country had enjoyed similar success in singles. The WTA later suspended its tournaments there after former doubles world number one Peng Shuai said in a now deleted 2021 social media post that a former Chinese government official sexually assaulted her.
