Coco Gauff 在本赛季第二次夺冠，在周日举行的中国公开赛决赛中以6-1、6-3的成绩轻松击败了Karolina Muchova。
这位美国球员年仅20岁，凭借此胜利成为了过去14年来最年轻的中国公开赛冠军。她是继塞雷娜·威廉姆斯在2004和2013年夺冠后，第二位在中国北京获得冠军的美国女选手。
对此，Gauff表达了她的感慨：“我看到上一个赢得这项荣誉的是塞雷娜·威廉姆斯时，感到非常荣幸。任何时候我的名字能与她的名字提及在一起，都是一种巨大的荣誉。”
这是她职业生涯中的第8个冠军头衔。在巡回赛决赛中，她的战绩为8胜1负，并且在硬地比赛的决赛中共获得了7次胜利，这一壮举在开放年代尚未有人完成。
“这真的很酷，” Gauff说道，“我期望有其他人打破这个纪录，我觉得记录就是用来被打破的。”
值得一提的是，在本季早些时候已经夺得了奥克兰站冠军的Gauff并未浪费时间。首盘比赛仅用31分钟就赢得，她的一发成功率高达95%，在击球上共取得24次胜利，并且成功破发对手五次。
这次在北京的胜利为Gauff增加了WTA总决赛的机会，这是连续第三年她有资格与全球排名前八位选手同台竞技。凭借此次冠军，她将在赛季最终的WTA 1000赛事（即武汉公开赛）之前超越Jessica Pegula，并登顶世界第五的位置。
排在世界第一的是Jannik Sinner，他以6-7(3)、6-4、6-2的成绩逆转战胜了Tomas Martin Etcheverry，在上海大师赛的第三轮取得了胜利。Sinner在经历了职业生涯第250场胜利后，这次对阵排名全球第37位的阿根廷选手的比拼，过程更为艰难。
面对着Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena内的雨天影响而采取了关闭窗户措施的赛场环境，Sinner的下一轮对手将是第16位种子Ben Shelton或西班牙选手Roberto Carballes Baena。
比赛初期，Etcheverry用惊艳的发球战术迫使Sinner进入苦战。他凭借一记令人拍案叫绝的网前截击赢得场点，并且最终成功拿下了首盘。然而在第二和第三盘中，Sinner逐渐找回了状态，通过一次关键破发将比分追平。此后，在决定性的第三盘中，Sinner连下两局，获得了比赛胜利。
另外，第五位的Daniil Medvedev从落后局面中奋起反击，以5-7、6-4、6-4的成绩战胜Matteo Arnaldi，成功晋级四分之一决赛，并将与排名12位的Stefanos Tsitsipas或Alexandre Muller争夺下一轮资格。
在比赛过程中，Medvedev面对紧张局势时展现了出色的经验和沉着。决胜盘中，他最终通过关键破发取得优势并保住了比分，以2小时44分钟结束整场比赛。
已经于周三在中国公开赛夺冠、赢得个人本年度第四冠的Carlos Alcaraz则以7-6(5)、6-3的成绩击败了中国选手Wu Yibing。

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. Aged 20, the sixth-ranked U.S. player 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. “Honestly, it means a lot when I saw that the last American woman to win this was Serena Williams,” Gauff said. "Anytime my name is mentioned in whatever sentence hers is, it’s a huge honor.” It was Gauff's eighth career title. She improved her record in tour finals to 8-1 and has now a 7-0 record in hard-court finals, a feat never achieved before in the Open Era. “That’s pretty cool,” Gauff said. “I hope somebody else breaks it. I think records are meant to be broken, honestly." Gauff, who defended her Auckland title earlier this season, wasted no time and took the opening set in just 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. With her title, 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. Top-ranked Jannik Sinner overcame a one set deficit to rally to a 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-2 win against Tomas Martin Etcheverry at the Shanghai Masters. A night after winning his 250th career match with a straight-sets victory, the 23-year-old Italian faced a much sterner third-round examination against the No. 37-ranked Argentine under the roof inside Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena that hosted play due to rain. Sinner will next play either No. 16-ranked Ben Shelton, who beat the Italian here last year, or Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain. Etcheverry produced the shot of the night with a stunning drop volley to bring up set point in the first set tiebreak, which he converted to take the lead. Sinner began to better find his range in the second and after trading breaks midway through the set, the Italian found another opportunity to level the match. The momentum was all with Sinner in the third as he broke Etcheverry twice more to advance in 2 hours, 39 minutes under a retractable roof on the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena. Due to heavy rain, play was restricted to the main court with all matches on outside courts postponed to Monday. “It was a very tough match, physically (and) mentally, so I am very happy to get through this one,” said Sinner, who is chasing a seventh title this year. Fifth-ranked Daniil Medvedev also came from behind for a 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory against Matteo Arnaldi to book his fourth-round berth against either 12th-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas or Alexandre Muller. The 28-year-old Medvedev was forced to dig deep to level the match after the Italian took a tight first set. In the deciding set, Medvedev's experience and composure came to the fore as he clinched a vital break in the ninth game and held firm to close out the match in 2 hours, 44 minutes. Second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz, who won the China Open on Wednesday for his fourth title of the year, defeated Chinese player Wu Yibing 7-6 (5), 6-3. ___ AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis
