The top-seeded Navarro dispensed a double bagel beat-down in 55 minutes becoming just the fifth woman since 2000 to win a WTA final 6-0, 6-0.
World No. 10 Navarro did not face a break point joining Iga Swiatek (2021 Rome final), Marion Bartoli (2006 Quebec City), Agnieszka Radwanska (2013 Sydney) and Simona Halep (2016 Bucharest) in the explosive dominant double bagel final club.
Today, Navarro broke at love for a 2-0 lead and was winning longer baseline exchanges. Navarro rolled through 11 of the last 13 points of the first set to seize a one-set lead and naever looked back.
The imposing final performance caps a week that saw Navarro drop just 15 games in four tournament victories to raise her second title trophy and first at the WTA 500 level.
The victory comes 14 months after Navarro defeated Elise Mertens to claim her maiden title at the 2024 Hobart.
