World number four Pegula wins Korea Open

US top seed Jessica Pegula won the WTA Korean Open in Seoul on Sunday with a straight-sets win over China’s Yuan Yue.

The 29-year-old, whose mother was born in Seoul, eased through 6-2, 6-3 for the fourth title of her career and second this season after Montreal in August.

World number four Pegula also reached the finals in Doha and Tokyo this year.

“My mom is Korean and she was adopted from here so it’s really special to be able to win here,” Pegula said.
