Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki beat Japan's Naomi Osaka 7-5, 6-3 to capture the Pan Pacific Open on Sunday.
Wozniacki, who had seen her world ranking plunge to 74th after suffering wrist and ankle injuries, completed victory with a crisp backhand which forced Osaka into yet another wild shot, giving the 26-year-old her first title since Kuala Lumpur last year.
Caroline Wozniacki also maintained her record of having won a tournament every year since 2008 and is set to climb to 22 or 23 in the rankings. A high-quality contest, Wozniacki and Osaka hit nearly 30 winners each (25 to 28), but it was the Dane's trademark consistency that won the day, with just 16 unforced errors to Osaka's 32. Clutch on the crucial points, she converted five of six break point opportunities and won an impressive 11 of 12 forays to the net.
