But she managed to collect herself and hold to go one break point away from her second China Open title.

After a bit of a struggle, Wozniacki got the break she needed to seal the victory in 55 minutes.

Sevastova coughed up 35 unforced errors, including 19 on the forehand side, on the way to the straight-set loss.

It's been nothing if not a consistent performance from Wozniacki here in Beijing this year. She managed to avoid dropping a single set on the way to the championship.

Wozniacki's first triumph at the China Open came some eight years ago, in 2010.
