Anisimova continues fine form, captures China Open title

Anisimova captures her second WTA 1000 title of the season, overcoming a mid-match challenge to defeat Noskova in the China Open final in Beijing.

"It has been an incredible few weeks. To get the win today was really special. - Amanda Anisimova"

Beijing Open, October 5

Amanda Anisimova secured the second WTA 1000 title of her career, defeating Linda Noskova in the final of the China Open on Sunday.

Anisimova beat Noskova 6-0, 2-6, 6-2, recovering from a mid-match wobble which cost her a set, as per Olympics.com.

Anisimova's fine form continues this season, as she secured the Qatar Open title back in February and followed it up with final finishes in Wimbledon and the US Open.

Saying, as quoted by Olympics.com, Anisimova said, "It has been an incredible few weeks. To get the win today was really special. I am excited for a lot more, and hopefully we can keep going."

The world number four was playing her first tournament since her loss to Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open final last month and surprised even herself with her run in China. She had concerns that she had taken too much time off after the US Open and was not completely match fit. But her form did not give her worries.

She beat Jasmine Paolini in the quarter-finals and then made it back-to-back wins over top 10 players as she also defeated compatriot Coco Gauff by 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals.

Anisimova picked up from where she left off against Gauff during the finals, taking just 23 runs to take the first set, where she lost just 12 points. While her opponent was reeling, she managed to break Anisimova in an 11-minute opening game of the second set and took the second set. When the 20-year-old Czech looked like the winner, Anisimova raised the bar high, breaking in the sixth game and taking a 4-2 lead. She clinched the title with one more break, sealing it with a backhand.

"Amanda has been playing amazingly the whole year," said runner-up Noskova. "You have been more than annoying for the rest of us!" she added.

She's been so consistent this year! Qatar Open, Wimbledon final, US Open final, and now China Open. That's proper champion material. Hope our Indian players can reach this level soon.

The way she demolished Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-2 in semis was brutal! That's some serious tennis. Noskova's comment about her being "annoying" for opponents is so true 😂

While her performance is impressive, I wish the article gave more credit to Noskova. The Czech player showed great fight in the second set. Both players deserve recognition.

That first set domination - lost just 12 points in 23 minutes! That's the kind of tennis we want to see from our Indian players. Need more aggressive play like this.

Her backhand winner to seal the title must have been spectacular! Wish we had more WTA tournaments in India to see these players live. The level of women's tennis is really exciting these days.
