The former world No. 1 needed one hour and 56 minutes to defeat Vandeweghe in the final round of the WTA event, held on clay courts on Sunday.

Vandeweghe was denied her third career title in her fifth final-round appearance, after having knocked out world No. 1 Simona Halep of Romania in the third round.
