Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen has won her first title in two years by beating French Open champion Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 6-4 in the China Open final. Zheng clinched with her first match point chance by serving an ace then fell to the court sobbing with emotion. Zheng’s ranking plummeted due to an elbow injury from a career-high No. 4 last year to No. 54 coming into her home tournament as a wild card this week. Despite the loss Sunday, Andreeva is set to rise to a career-high No. 3 ranking.
