BEIJING - World No. 2 Caroline Wozniacki captured her second China Open title here on Sunday with a commanding straight set victory of 6-3, 6-3 over No. 20 Anastasija Sevastova.

It's the third title of this year for Wozniacki, and she captured it by making crafty use of the court and waiting patiently for the right opportunities to hit winners.

Wozniacki hit the ground running in her first service game, holding her opponent to love with a commanding use of her backhand shots down the line. Sevastova was searching for the forehand shots that helped her past Osaka in the semifinal, but kept drawing blanks.

Both players held serve until Sevastova handed Wozniacki a break with an ugly unforced error, sending a drop shot straight into the net, putting the Dane up 4-2.
