Pan Pacific Open: Caroline Wozniacki wins first title of the year in Tokyo

Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki beat Japan’s Naomi Osaka 7-5 6-3 to win the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo for the second time.

Osaka, 18, fought back from 5-0 down in the second set but world number 28 Wozniacki wrapped up her 24th career title in just under two hours.

The Dane, 26, has now won a tournament in every season since 2008.

“I’m enjoying it at the moment,” said Wozniacki, who received treatment for a thigh injury during the final.

“Injuries happen and you never know when you can be taken out of the game, so I’m just savouring every minute.”
