Anisimova wins the China Open in Beijing for second WTA 1000 title

Published 11 October 2025

Amanda Anisimova defeated Linda Noskova 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 on Sunday to win the China Open in Beijing, securing her second WTA 1000 title of the year and the fourth tour-level trophy of her 2025 season. The 24-year-old American closed out the final in one hour and 46 minutes, capping a run that included a semifinal victory over defending champion Coco Gauff.

Anisimova dominated the opening set, handing Noskova a 6-0 bagel, but the 20-year-old Czech rallied to take the second set. In the decider, Anisimova regained control, breaking Noskova repeatedly and closing out the match 6-0, 2-6, 6-2. Match statistics showed Anisimova won a high share of her first-serve points and converted five of eight break-point opportunities, while Noskova converted two of six break chances.

The Beijing title adds to a breakthrough year for Anisimova, who won the Doha Masters in February and reached the finals at both Wimbledon and the US Open. Her victory in China earned her 880 ranking points and will leave her at world number four. She has also qualified for the season-ending WTA Finals. With this result she becomes the third American to win the China Open, following Serena Williams and Coco Gauff.
