Tennis: Caroline Wozniacki beats Anatasija Sevastova to win the China Open

Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki picked up her third title of the season with her 30th singles title on Sunday, a 6-3, 6-3 success over Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia in the final of the China Open. From 2-2 in the opening set, the 28 year-old Dane won four of the next five games to take it 6-3. Another run of four games out of five gave Wozniacki a 4-1 lead in the second, but at that point she seemed to falter, allowing Sevastova to break back and close to 3-4. Somehow Wozniacki saved three break points in the next game to hold for 5-3 and Sevastova's resistance ebbed away. The number two seed completed a straight sets win in the following game on her third match point and a second China Open title was hers, eight years after her first. Sevastova committed 35 unforced errors over the course of the match and converted just one of eight break points.
