Zheng Qinwen Wins Pan Pacific Open Final

Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen secured her third title of the season and fifth career victory by defeating American Sofia Kenin in the Pan Pacific Open final, winning 7-6(5), 6-3. Zheng dominated with 16 aces and maintained strong service games, not facing any breaks in the final. Her victory in Tokyo marks her qualification for the WTA Year-End Championships in Riyadh and sets a record for the most tour-level wins by a Chinese player in a single season. Kenin, a former Australian Open champion, showed resilience but ultimately fell to Zheng's powerful play. The doubles final saw Japan's Shuko Aoyama and Eri Hozumi defeating Ena Shibahara and Laura Siegemund. Zheng's performance follows her historic gold at the Paris Olympics, further solidifying her status as a top contender in women's tennis.
