China Open 2018 Finals: Caroline Wozniacki, Nikoloz Basilashvili Win Titles

Caroline Wozniacki easily handled Anastasija Sevastova in two sets to win the China Open for the second time in her career on Sunday.

The Australian Open winner triumphed 6-3, 6-3 to win the tournament without dropping a set. She previously triumphed in Beijing in 2010 as well.

Nikoloz Basilashvili was victorious in the men's final, beating Juan Martin del Potro in two sets. The Georgian won 6-4, 6-4.

As shared by tennis writer Tumaini Carayol, it had been some time since Wozniacki had won a WTA Mandatory title:

Wozniacki has enjoyed a solid 2018 campaign, winning the Australian Open and showing consistency in the middle portion of the year. She had struggled during the East Asia leg, however, losing early in the Pan Pacific Open and Wuhan Open.

The Danish star dominated in Beijing with wins over the likes of Anett Kontaveit and Wang Qiang. The draw perfectly fell into place and top seed Simona Halep retired early in the tournament.

That shouldn't take away from an excellent showing from Wozniacki, however. As shared by WTA Insider, she cruised through large stretches of the final:

Wozniacki has qualified for the WTA Finals in Singapore, where she will defend last year's title.

Basilashvili continued his fine season with a shock win over Del Potro in two sets. Per tennis writer Jose Morgado he bagged his second ATP 500 win of the year in the process:

The 26-year-old won the German Open as a qualifier, vaulting up the ATP rankings and becoming the highest ranked men's player from Georgia of all time. 

He went on a fantastic run in Beijing, beating an impressive list of players that included Kyle Edmund, Fernando Verdasco and Jack Sock.

Basilashvili saved his best for last, however:

He needed three match points and saved two break points but eventually got over the line against Del Potro, who hasn't won an ATP tournament since March.
