The 27-year-old, world number one El-Sherbini, who had lost four previous finals at the prestigious event, dominated the match from start to finish, winning 11-6, 11-6, and 11-7 in 34 minutes.
El-Sherbini’s victory extended Egypt’s dominance of the US Open won by Egyptian players for the sixth consecutive year.
In the men’s final on Sunday, New Zealand’s Paul Coll defeated Egypt’s Ali Farag by three sets to one to claim his second major title of the year.
The 31-year-old Farag still retains his place as the world’s number one seed for men.
