"WUHAN, China -- Coco Gauff reeled off four straight games to beat Jessica Pegula 6-4, 7-5 and win the Wuhan Open on Sunday in all-American final. The 21-year-old Gauff won her second title of the year, having won the French Open on clay, and she now has 11 career titles. The third-ranked Gauff served to save the set at 5-3 down. She held and then broke the sixth-ranked Pegula to love for 5-5."
"Pegula's forehand volley at the net landed wide to give Gauff a first match point and, with Pegula on second serve, she clinched it with a forehand winner following a brief rally. The 31-year-old Pegula rallied to beat top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. But this time she lost momentum and missed out on a 10th career title as Gauff became the second American to claim the Wuhan title after Venus Williams in 2015."
