Naomi Osaka came from a set down to beat world number one Ashleigh Barty in an enthralling China Open final.
The Japanese world number four came through 3-6 6-3 6-2 to win her second title in a row, having also triumphed at the Pan Pacific Open in September.
She has won 10 straight matches since losing in the last 16 of the US Open.
This title ranks as one of the biggest of 21-year-old two-time Grand Slam champion Osaka’s career, because it is only her second premier WTA title – the top level of tournaments on the women’s tour after the majors.
