Amanda Anisimova claimed her second WTA 1000 title at the China Open in Beijing on Sunday, overcoming a mid-match stumble to defeat Linda Noskova 6-0, 2-6, 6-2. The World No. 4 started ruthlessly, racing through the first set in just 23 minutes with precise angles and punishing groundstrokes.
Twenty-year-old Noskova, appearing in her first WTA 1000 final, showed resilience by responding with a 6-2 second set win, hitting deep returns and dictating rallies. But Anisimova regrouped in the decider, unleashing a sizzling backhand to seal the victory and collapse to the court in joy.
This triumph marks the 24-year-old’s fourth career title and makes her only the third American champion in Beijing, joining Coco Gauff and Serena Williams. It also caps a breakthrough season that included final runs at Wimbledon and the US Open.
With a mix of raw power and tactical poise, Anisimova’s win in the Chinese capital highlights her rise as one of the sport’s most exciting young talents. As fans depart the National Tennis Center, they carry memories of a match defined by grit, flair, and the promise of more thrilling showdowns ahead.
