It is Gauff’s second title of 2025 to add to her French Open crown in June, and she had warm words for Pegula — her former doubles partner — at the trophy ceremony.
“When I came on tour, you were one of the first people to be nice to me and welcome me with open arms,” the two-time major champion said to Pegula.
“That really went a long way, so I appreciate you. It’s great to finally play in the final against you, and I hope for many more. So, congratulations and thank you.”
Gauff’s victory in Wuhan has increased her points tally by 610 points after she reached the semi-finals at last year’s edition of the tournament.
This puts Gauff on 7,873 points in the Live WTA Rankings after she started the event on 7,263 points.

WTA Rankings Winners & Losers Wuhan Open: Sabalenka denies Swiatek; Gauff’s boost, Mboko, Raducanu miss out
The American is now 895 points adrift of second-ranked Swiatek, having been 1,290 points behind her Polish rival at the start of the tournament.
Swiatek has improved her points total by 215 points by reaching the quarter-finals at the Wuhan Open. The six-time Grand Slam champion was not defending any points this week as she missed Wuhan last year.
While Gauff has moved closer to Swiatek, she will not be able to claim the world No 2 position before the end of the 2025 season.
This is because Gauff and Swiatek both only have one tournament left on their 2025 calendars: the WTA Finals in Riyadh, which will run from November 1-8.
Gauff will be defending 1,300 points at the WTA Finals as she secured the title at the 2024 event by winning four of her five matches.

MARK KELLY JUST OBLITERATED TRUMP ON LIVE TV — Historic Takedown Sparks National Backlash as Reports Confirm Trump’s Pennsylvania Rally Was a 200-Person Disaster; MAGA World in Full-Scale Panic Sen. Mark Kelly unleashed a blistering assault on Donald Trump that Washington hasn’t seen in years — declaring the former president has “never read the Constitution,” “doesn’t understand what it means to be an American,” and comes from a family with “zero military service,” in stark contrast to Kelly’s four generations of service. The political earthquake hit even harder when fresh reporting confirmed Trump’s rally in Pocono, Pennsylvania was a catastrophic flop, drawing barely 200 people — a humiliation so severe that insiders say Trump erupted into a profanity-laced meltdown, berating aides and demanding to know “who sabotaged” his crowd. The fallout has spiraled into a national spectacle: Republican strategists are calling the rally “the beginning of the end,” veterans groups are rallying behind Kelly’s remarks, and even longtime MAGA loyalists privately admit the optics are “beyond salvaging.” What comes next is what has Washington bracing… Full Details 👇👇

🔥 Drama Alert! Oprah Winfrey just broke her silence on Travis Kelce — and she didn’t hold back! 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆: 👇. “I’ve watched Travis Kelce dominate the media lately, and let’s be honest — it’s not just because of his football talent. The attention surrounding him comes from celebrity culture, Super Bowl stardom, and the pop-culture machine he now represents. I spent decades creating conversations that moved people forward, while he’s become a symbol of modern obsession — headlines fueled by highlights and romance more than substance. Being famous isn’t the same as being a change-maker. The stadium lights are bright, but history honors progress, not just touchdowns and trends.” But Travis fired back instantly, saying: “Dear Oprah, that ‘obsession’ only exists when you’ve built something that unites a fanbase and a locker room — and I’m grateful my journey with the Chiefs has done that for Chiefs Kingdom. That doesn’t erase the grind, the sacrifice, or the brotherhood inside that locker room. While you focused on changing conversations, I focused on winning with my brothers, lifting people through action, and giving fans something to believe in. Pride isn’t a distraction — it’s the reason the game matters in the first place.”
