The 21-year-old Japanese, who had earlier upset top seed Michelle Li in the semifinals, overcame second seed Nguyen 21-12 21-14 for the biggest title of her career.
“I was a bit tired, but during the match I just tried my best to do well,” said beaten finalist Nguyen. “I was happy just to stay on court. I have to keep training my physical side. I never gave up, I just kept fighting until the end of the match.”
Japan won both singles, with Kenta Nishimoto stopping the dream run of home favourite Victor Lai for his first title since the Madrid Spain Masters in April 2023. The third seeded Japanese took nearly an hour to subdue his challenger, 21-13 21-14.
