Story summary

Zheng Qinwen, the Olympic champion, secured her first title in two years by defeating Mirra Andreeva, the French Open champion, in the China Open final on Sunday with a score of 7-5, 6-4 in Beijing. Zheng won the match on her first match point when she served an ace to Andreeva's backhand side and then celebrated emotionally on the court. Despite ranking at No. 54 coming into the tournament due to a previous elbow injury, Zheng has shown remarkable form recently, including reaching the quarterfinals as a qualifier at the U.S. Open where she rallied from 5-0 deficits against Madison Keys and Iga Swiatek. Zheng's victory also follows her triumph in the Paris Olympics singles title earlier this year. Although Andreeva lost the match, she is still expected to rise to a career-high No. 3 ranking.
