World number three Jessica Pegula blitzed Liudmila Samsonova 6-1 6-0 to win her second WTA 1000 trophy at the Omnium Banque Nationale in Montreal.
Pegula, who previously overcame Iga Swiatek in a match that was bizarrely interrupted by Cotton Eyed Joe, needed only 49 minutes to become the first American to win the Canadian Open in a decade, since Serena Williams’ victory in 2013.
World number 18 Samsonova had an incredible week by claiming two top-five scalps, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.
But she had spent nearly 10 hours on court and those efforts took a toll as Pegula comfortably claimed her third career title.
As she celebrated victory, Cotton Eyed Joe was fitting played again from the court speakers.
