The victory gave Gauff her third WTA 1000 title and 11th career trophy, but the real headline is in the record books — she is now the only woman in history to win her first nine WTA hardcourt finals.

In a match lasting one hour and 42 minutes, Gauff secured the Wuhan title without dropping a single set throughout the tournament.

By extending her flawless streak to 9-0 in hardcourt finals, Gauff achieved something that even legends like Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, and Maria Sharapova never managed.

Sunday’s final marked the first singles meeting between Gauff and her former doubles partner Pegula in a championship match — and it lived up to its billing.

Gauff raced to a 3-0 lead after winning the first six points of the match, setting the tone early. Pegula, ever the fighter, clawed her way back with a blistering backhand break in the seventh game to level at 4-4. But Gauff stayed composed, seizing a narrow opening two games later to capture the first set in 47 minutes.

Pegula, who had battled through three-set marathons in all her previous rounds, looked primed for another comeback. The world No. 6 had survived a thriller against Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals — rallying from 2-5 down in the third set — and tried to summon the same energy again.
