Amanda Anisimova brushed off a second-set stumble to beat Linda Noskova 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 in the China Open final on Oct 5, winning her second WTA 1000 title.

Anisimova caps stellar run with 'crazy' China win

The 24-year-old Anisimova is the third American to win the China Open, after 2024 champion Coco Gauff and 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams.

“It’s been an incredible few weeks,” Anisimova said, almost exactly one month after reaching the US Open final, where she lost to world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.

“I felt a lot of love,” she added, thanking the Beijing crowd for their support in the match lasting one hour and 46 minutes.

“It’s crazy that we made it this far and to get the win today has been very special. I’m excited for a lot more, and hopefully, we can keep going.”
