Ons Jabeur won the fifth WTA title of her career with an emphatic victory over surprise-package Diana Shnaider in the final of the Ningbo Open in China on Saturday.

The seventh-ranked Tunisian demolished the unseeded Shnaider 6-2, 6-1 for her first hardcourt title.

Top seed Jabeur took a last-minute wildcard into the tournament and it took her all the way to the final.

The Moscow-born 19-year-old Shnaider, who is 85th in the world, had enjoyed a dream run to her first WTA final.

She defeated two-times Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova on the way to the championship match.

But she wilted in the face of Jabeur`s superior power and precision, and her title dream was snuffed out in just 78 minutes.
