Number two ranked tennis player in the world Iga Swiatek has come out on top to claim her fifth title of year at the China Open.

She defeated Liudmila Samsonova in an impressive showing to add to her titles in Doha, Stuttgart, Roland Garros and Warsaw.

22 year old Swiatek did not face a break point in either set as Russia’s world number 22 Samsonova struggled to cope.

Swiatek, who ended US Open champion Coco Gauff’s 16-match winning streak in the semi-finals, was handed the first break of the match in the sixth game when Samsonova produced a double fault.

She then went on to wrap up the opening set without committing a single unforced error.
