Caroline Wozniacki Wins China Open
(October 7, 2018) Caroline Wozniacki won the 30th title of her career and third of 2018 with a 6-3, 6-3 over Latvia’s Anastasija Sevastova in 87 minuites. For the Dane, this is her third Premier Mandatory title on the WTA Tour. She won the China Open in 2010 and Indian Wells in 2011.
The 2018 Australian Open winner did not drop a set throughout the tournament.
“I feel great being here. Having won again, eight is my lucky number and it is eight years ago I won here so I felt like it was my year,” Wozniacki said on-court after her victory.
“It was one of my best tournaments ever,” said the runner-up. “Caroline played amazing today, it’s always tough playing against her and I have never won. I hope that we will continue to have good matches.”
Her win means that she will stay at No. 2 in the rankings and Sevastova will rise to a career-high of No. 12.
The 28-year-old Wozniacki heads into the WTA Year-End event in Singapore as the defending champion.
