Coco Gauff became the first player to win her first nine hard court finals as she beat Jessica Pegula in straight sets to win the Wuhan Open.
World number three, Gauff won 6-4 7-5 against her American compatriot to claim her 11th career singles title in total.
The French Open champion, who was making her second appearance at the Wuhan Open, trailed in the second set but dug deep to reduce the deficit to 5-3 before claiming four straight games to seal victory.
At 5-4, Pegula had the chance to force a final-set decider on serve but was broken emphatically by a relentless Gauff.
Pegula had played in final-set deciders in all eight of her previous matches at the Wuhan Open, while Gauff had finished off all of hers in straight sets.
