Fifth seed Svitolina, whose run to the final included wins over Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza and defending champion Simona Halep, used a strong return game throughout the 77-minute match to beat sixth seed Wozniacki.

Svitolina, 22, broke Wozkniacki three times during the first set and another three times during a lopsided second set to deny the former world number one her first title since last October.
