Overview

  • Gauff rallied from 0-3 and 3-5 in the second set to close out a 6-4, 7-5 victory, completing the tournament without dropping a set.
  • The title is Gauff’s 11th in singles and her second of 2025, adding to her French Open triumph earlier this season.
  • Pegula reached the final after snapping Aryna Sabalenka’s 20-match Wuhan unbeaten run with a semifinal comeback from 2-5 in the deciding set.
  • This was the first singles final between the former doubles partners, who have previously won multiple WTA 1000 titles together.
  • Gauff’s win adds 610 ranking points and narrows the gap to No. 2 Iga Swiatek, though projections indicate she cannot overtake her before the WTA Finals in Riyadh.
