In the women's singles, second seed Wang Yafan breezed past injury-troubled fourth seed Feng Shuo 6-0, 6-1 for the crown.

Yang Zhaoxuan and Xiang Xinyu won the women's doubles title after defeating Zhu Lin and Han Xinyun in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6.

Huang Wei, deputy director of the Tennis Administrative Center under the General Administration of Sport of China, said the tournament aims to break the barriers of region, age and nationality so as to attract more international players from east Asia, southeast Asia and south Asia regions.

Before the finals in Macao, the tour had had six legs held in Chinese mainland cities of Anning, Rizhao, Changsha, Changzhou, Linfen and Guangzhou.
