It went the way of 'Queenwen' as she is dubbed in a 6-2, 6-4 win and as a result, she books her spot in the 2024 Olympic Games which will take place in Paris.
Also she becomes the fifth Chinese player in a row to win the Ladies' title following Qiang Wang twice, Shuai Peng and Jie Zheng. Up towards the top 20 in the current WTA rankings, she has also done it without Wim Fissette now in her corner.
She said post match that he breached contract to go back to working with Naomi Osaka when she returns from maternity leave in 2024 leaving her without a coach and one that helped her to a lot of success.
