Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki captured the Toray Pan Pacific Open title for the third time after beating unseeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-0, 7-5 in Sunday's final.
Denmark's Wozniacki, who manhandled world No. 1 Garbine Muguruza 6-2, 6-0 in the semifinals, came flying out the blocks at Ariake Coliseum with a first-set blitz that lasted just 21 minutes, before a shell-shocked Pavlyuchenkova gradually began to work her way back into the match in the second.
But world No. 6 Wozniacki stayed calmly in control to deny her opponent even a single break point all match, wrapping up victory in one hour, 14 minutes to claim her first title of the WTA season after no fewer than six runner-up finishes.
