RIYADH -- The United States' Coco Gauff defeated China's Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2) to claim the WTA Finals title on Saturday.
Though 22-year-old Zheng fell short in the final, she matched her compatriot and former French Open champion Li Na's best WTA Finals result from 2013.
As the seventh seed, Zheng rebounded from an early loss to Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka, defeating Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina, Italy's Jasmine Paolini and the Czech Republic's Barbora Krejcikova to reach the final.
