Cincinnati Open: Ashleigh Barty beats Jil Teichmann in final to clinch fifth title of the season

World number one Ashleigh Barty warmed up for the US Open by winning the Cincinnati Open with a straight-set victory over Jil Teichmann in the final.

Barty, 25, produced a polished performance to beat the 24-year-old Swiss wildcard 6-3 6-1.

The Australian managed eight aces and 28 winners as she cruised to another commanding victory.

It is a fifth title of the season for Barty, who is favourite to add the US Open title to her Wimbledon crown.

Teichmann, ranked 76th, reached the final by beating three top-12 players in four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka, fourth seed Karolina Pliskova and Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic, but was unable to contend with Barty's power and precision.
