🎾 What a ride! 24-year-old Amanda Anisimova just lifted her second WTA 1000 trophy—and her fourth career title—at the China Open in Beijing, Chinese mainland. She bounced back after a mid-match wobble to beat 20-year-old Linda Noskova 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 in a three-set battle that had us on the edge of our seats.
💥 Anisimova served up a flawless first set, racing to a 6-0 win in just 23 minutes with pinpoint angles and raw power. Noskova, making her first WTA 1000 final appearance, refused to back down, storming back 6-2 in the second set like a true underdog hero.
🔥 In the decider, Anisimova regained her groove with lightning-fast groundstrokes and a killer backhand that sealed the deal at 6-2. She collapsed to the court in celebration, joining the likes of Coco Gauff and Serena Williams as the only Americans to conquer the China Open.
🙌 With finals runs at Wimbledon and the US Open this season, Anisimova's breakthrough year is shining brighter than ever. Tennis lovers from Mumbai to Manila, trust us, Anisimova is one to watch!
