Hsieh wins Japan Women's Open tennis title

Amanda Anisimova has shown none of the poise that allowed the 17-year-old to reach the final of the Japan Women's Open, losing in straight sets to Hsieh Su-Wei.

Taiwan's Hsieh Su-Wei has overpowered American qualifier Amanda Anisimova 6-2 6-2 to win the Japan Women's Open.

Second-seeded Hsieh on Sunday converted five of six break points against the 17-year-old Anisimova, who was playing in her first WTA final.

Anisimova, who turned 17 just two weeks ago, was the youngest player to reach a final since 16-year-old Donna Vekic at Tashkent in 2012 and Birmingham in 2013.

She lacked the poise that allowed her to reach Sunday's final, double-faulting five times and making 23 unforced errors.

Hsieh never faltered and finished with 14 winners to just six unforced errors to claim her third career title.
