Anisimova Clinches China Open Title in Thrilling Final Comeback
5 Oct
Summary
- Third-seeded American Amanda Anisimova wins China Open
- Defeats Linda Noskova of Czech Republic in 3-set final
- Anisimova's second WTA 1000 title of 2025 season
In a thrilling final at the China Open on October 5, 2025, third-seeded American tennis player Amanda Anisimova emerged victorious, defeating Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic in a three-set battle. Anisimova, who had earlier ended the title defense of fellow American Coco Gauff in the semifinals, claimed the trophy with a 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 win over Noskova.
The 20-year-old Anisimova, who has risen to No. 4 in the world rankings, sealed the match with a backhand winner down the line and fell to the court in celebration of her second WTA 1000 title of the 2025 season. Noskova, the youngest Czech player to advance this far at a WTA 1000 event since the format was introduced in 2009, gave Anisimova a tough challenge but ultimately ran out of steam in the closing stages of the one-hour and 46-minute encounter.
Anisimova's victory in Beijing marks her second major title of the year, having also reached the finals of both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon earlier in 2025. The rising American star's impressive performance at the China Open has further solidified her position as one of the top players on the women's tour.
