Diana Shnaider defeated Leylah Fernandez 6–4, 5–7, 6–2 to win the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.

Diana Shnaider of Russia defeated Canada's Leylah Fernandez 6–4, 5–7, 6–2 in the Pan Pacific Open final in Tokyo, claiming her sixth career WTA Tour title.

Fernandez had reached the final after defeating Uzbekistan's Kamilla Rakhimova 7–5, 6–3 in Saturday's semi-final. The World No 23 came back from a break down in both sets against Rakhimova, who had entered the main draw as a lucky loser after being eliminated in qualifying. Rakhimova, ranked 66th, had never reached a WTA Tour final before.

This was Fernandez's third final of 2026. She won her first title of the season in Singapore last month and reached the final of last week's Ningbo Open in China, where she lost to World No 1 Elena Rybakina.
