After reaching the semifinals on clay in the Italian Open in Rome last week, 17-year-old Gauff dropped only one set en route to the title in Parma.

Gauff, who is ranked 30 in the world and has won 20 of her last 26 matches, saved each of four break points in her first meeting with the 29-year-old Wang.
