Wuhan: Coco Gauff said her "stubborn" decision to defy her coach and play in China after a tough US Open had paid off after she beat Jessica Pegula 6-4, 7-5 on Sunday to clinch the third WTA 1000 title of her career in Wuhan.
The 21-year-old Gauff secured the Wuhan Open without dropping a set after a 1hr 42min battle in the central Chinese city and became the first player in the Open Era to win her first nine hard-court finals.
"It was a great Asian swing," said Gauff, who reached the semi-finals in Beijing last week, before winning the Wuhan Open.
"I'm going to call JC out," she said referring to her coach Jean-Christophe Faurel.
"He originally didn't want me to come because I had a tough US Open, but I had to prove him wrong.
