Zhang needed just over two hours to lift the trophy, having finished runner-up at the WTA 125K series tournament last year.

"This year I came back, because last year, I had a little feeling, really sad, because I made the final, but [didn't] win," Zhang said during her on-court post-match interview. 

"That's why this year, I came back. I'm so happy to win this year."
