It was Wozniacki's fourth tournament victory this year, unmatched on the WTA Tour, and her first win on clay, serving as a welcome boost ahead of the French Open.

"I feel in good shape. I don't feel tired at all. I am full of confidence," Wozniacki said.

Starting sluggish following a tough three-set win over Francesca Schiavone late Friday, the Dane found her touch and fighting spirit as of the second set against the 31st-ranked Chinese.

Peng, 25, was looking for her first WTA tour win but is 0-for-4 so far.
