Going wild! Gauff wins her first Wuhan Open women's singles title, claiming the championship without dropping a set and earning 4.25 million yuan in prize money.

On October 12th, 2025, the Wuhan Open women's singles final took place with two American players, Gauff and Pegula, competing in a derby showdown for the crown. Gauff excelled, using her powerful endurance and impenetrable defense to defeat Pegula 2-0 in straight sets, capturing the title. Additionally, she received 1000 points and about 4.25 million yuan in prize money, marking her as a huge winner. This victory also represents Gauff’s 11th tour-level championship in her career!

Gauff, ranked third in the world, is known for her strong capabilities. Those familiar with her know her playing style resembles that of Serena Williams—fierce defense combined with exceptional stamina. This season, she won the French Open and entered this tournament in blazing form. With dominant control, she advanced to the final without dropping a set, winning all matches 2-0. Her opponent in the final was Pegula, ranked sixth worldwide. Compared to Gauff, Pegula’s path was much tougher, often battling through three-set matches. In the semifinals, Pegula caused an upset by eliminating world number one Sabalenka, setting up an all-American final!

Once the match started, the two players engaged in an intense battle, exchanging points until the score was tied 4-4. At a critical moment, Gauff showed superior skill by winning two consecutive games to take the first set 6-4. In the second set, Pegula regained momentum and aggressively fought back, gaining a commanding 3-0 lead early on. However, Gauff refused to back down and quickly won three games in a row to level the score at 3-3. Pegula then took two more games to lead 5-3 and had a set point, but she couldn’t close it out. Pegula’s errors increased, and scoring became difficult as Gauff’s defense proved impenetrable. Gauff launched a rapid-fire attack, winning four straight points to take the set 7-5 and the match 2-0, claiming the championship!

This is Gauff’s first Wuhan Open title, and she did so without dropping a set. It’s hard not to hype this up—currently, Gauff, Sabalenka, and Swiatek stand as the top three players in the game, forming a powerful trio!
