Overview

  • Amanda Anisimova defeated defending champion Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-2 in 58 minutes to reach the Beijing title match.
  • Coco Gauff won just 39% of first‑serve points and 38% on second serve, hit five double faults, and was broken five times.
  • Linda Noskova beat Jessica Pegula 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(6) after saving three match points to make her first WTA 1000 final.
  • Pegula’s defeat ended the possibility of an all-American championship match, which the event has never staged since 2004.
  • Anisimova’s run extends a standout season that includes a Doha WTA 1000 title, back-to-back major finals, and qualification for the WTA Finals.
