The tennis world number one Ashleigh Barty has secured the women's title at the tournament in Cincinnati and thus won the dress rehearsal for the US Open.
The Wimbledon winner from Australia won on Sunday 6: 3, 6: 1 in just 71 minutes against surprise finalist Jil Teichmann from Switzerland.
Barty had prevailed against Angelique Kerber in the semifinals and already celebrated her fifth title this year.
Overall, it was the 13th tournament win of her career for the 25-year-old.
Teichmann only came into the field thanks to a wildcard.
Strong against top-class opponents
The 24-year-old beat top-class opponents there such as the world number two Naomi Osaka from Japan, Olympic champion Belinda Bencic from Switzerland and the Czech Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova.
Teichmann will improve to the top 50 in the new world rankings.
The women's competition at the hard court tournament in Cincinnati was endowed with a good $ 1.8 million and the last big test before the US Open, which begins in New York in a week.
In the final of the men's final, which was held at the same time, Olympic champion Alexander Zverev from Hamburg and Russian Andrej Rublev faced each other.
