American CoCo Vandeweghe defeated Ashleigh Barty in the semi-finals of the WTA Elite Trophy in China on Saturday, ending the Australia's impressive run in the tournament.
Barty, who had beaten former world number one Angelique Kerber and Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova earlier in the week, tumbled out of the tournament after a tough match that Vandeweghe won in two sets 6-3, 6-3 in just one hour and two minutes.
