Barty wins in Cinci

Ash Barty is the Western & Southern Open 2021 women’s singles champion. The world No.1 claimed the title with a comprehensive 6-3 6-1 win against Swiss wildcard Jil Teichmann in today’s final. World No.76 Teichmann had been on a giant-killing run, eliminating world No.2 Naomi Osaka, Olympic champion Belinda Bencic and world No.4 Karolina Pliskova to advance to the biggest final of her career. However, the 24-year-old proved no match for Barty.
