Top-seeded Qinwen Zheng outlasted wild card Sofia Kenin 7-6 (5), 6-3 to win the final of the Pan Pacific Open on Sunday in Tokyo.
Zheng, of China, fired 16 aces to dispatch Kenin in one hour, 52 minutes and claim her third WTA Tour singles title of the year and fifth of her career. She also won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kenin, who last won a tournament in 2020, was able to erase all five break points she faced in the first set to force a tiebreak.
