Spain's Garbine Muguruza, one of the rising stars of women's tennis, beat Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky to win the China Open on Sunday, her biggest title to date.
Muguruza won a hard-fought final 7-5, 6-4 to capture her first Premier Mandatory title and climb to fourth in the world rankings.
It was just the 22-year-old's second WTA title, after she won her first at last year's Hobart International, and made up for the frustration of losing her two previous finals this year, at Wimbledon in July and Wuhan last week.
