We have a nice Chinese story in Guangzhou as a local player won her maiden tournament.
Shuai Zhang had an immaculate tournament winning the title without dropping a single set. That was no bad for an unseeded player that benefited from a wildcard to access the competition.
It took 96 minutes for Shuai to win the final breaking Vania King 3 times without dropping a service game (she saved 4 break points). Finally the Chinese scored 73 points vs. King’s 56.
It was since 2005 that a Chinese players wasn’t winning the title in Guangzhou (Zi Yan)
