Poland's Maja Chwalinska has lifted her first WTA 1000 trophy after battling past Britain's Sonay Kartal in a gripping three-set final at the Wuhan Open.
Chwalinska stormed through the opener 6-2, but Kartal - refusing to go quietly - clawed back the second set to force a decider. It proved a brief reprieve. The Pole rediscovered her rhythm in the third, running away with it 6-2 to seal the biggest title of her career.
Chwalinska's path to the trophy included a semi-final victory over compatriot Iga Swiatek, whose performance was hampered by an injury sustained during the match.
At the trophy ceremony, Chwalinska praised Kartal's week-long run and thanked the tournament organisers, her support team, ball kids and volunteers for making her feel welcome in Wuhan.
Kartal, meanwhile, tipped her hat to the champion and voiced confidence that more finals lie ahead. The Briton highlighted the backing of her own team and lauded the event's atmosphere, saying she looks forward to returning next year.
