Coco Gauff在本季第二次赢得了冠军头衔,在周日结束的中国公开赛决赛中以一边倒的方式击败了Karolina Muchova,比分为6-1、6-3。

这位位列第六的美国选手Gauff,20岁,成为了过去14年来最年轻的中国公开赛冠军。她是继Serena Williams在2004年和2013年之后的第二位在北京夺得冠军的美国女选手。

这是Gauff的职业生涯第八次夺冠,她以8-1的战绩赢得决赛,并保持了在硬地球场上7-0的不败记录,在公开时代中尚属首次出现。

比赛后Gauff称赞了她的对手Muchova,“我要恭喜你Karolina,很高兴看到你在复出后的巡回赛表现出色。”她还赞扬道:“你是一个极出色的球员,值得所有荣誉。希望你能在未来赢得更多决赛。”

这是高福在请来新教练Matt Daly之后的首场比赛,此前她与Brad Gilbert的合作已结束。

“我想要感谢我的整个团队。这是我们作为一个完整的队伍共同参加的第一场赛事。”Gauff说,“特别要谢谢Matt,这是我和你合作的第一场赛事,而且很成功,所以感谢你在这周给予的帮助。”

值得一提的是,她在今年早些时候在奥克兰的冠军赛中捍卫了自己夺冠的荣耀。

首盘比赛仅耗时31分钟便被Gauff拿下。她的一发得分高达95%,击出了24个胜分,并在比赛中总共打破了对手五次球门。

此次胜利为中国公开赛带来了新的希望,让Gauff成为自WTA决赛开始以来第三年连续入围的选手。

这次成功让她超越了Jessica Pegula,在赛季最后的大满贯赛事,武汉公开赛开启前,晋升至世界排名第五位。

对此事件的报道得到了美国通讯社美联社(The Associated Press)与路透社(Reuters)的支持。

原文摘要:

Coco Gauff won her second title this season with a lopsided 6-1, 6-3 victory over Karolina Muchova in the final of the China Open on Sunday.
 
The sixth-ranked Gauff, 20, became the youngest China Open champion in 14 years. She is also the second American champion in Beijing, following Serena Williams' title runs in 2004 and 2013.
 
It was Gauff's eighth career title. She improved her record in tour finals to 8-1 and now has a 7-0 record in hard-court finals, a feat never achieved before in the Open era.
  
"I want to say congratulations to you, Karolina, it's great to see you back on tour," Gauff said of Muchova, who spent an extended spell sidelined after suffering a wrist injury at the 2023 US Open. "I think you're such an amazing player, and you deserve everything, and hopefully you play many more finals."
 
The tournament was Gauff's first after adding Matt Daly to her coaching team, following her split with Brad Gilbert last month.
 
"I would like to thank my team. It's our first tournament together as a full, complete team," Gauff said. "Thank you, Matt, this is our first tournament together, and obviously, it's going well, so thank you for helping me throughout this week."
 
Gauff, who defended her Auckland title earlier this season, wasted no time and took the opening set in 31 minutes. She dropped just five points on her first serve, hit 24 winners and broke Muchova five times.
 
Gauff's win in Beijing improved her chances of qualifying for the WTA Finals featuring the eight top players for the third consecutive year.
 
She will overtake Jessica Pegula to take the No. 5 spot ahead of the final WTA 1000 tournament of the season, the Wuhan Open starting Monday.
