In February, Amanda Anisimova won a WTA 1000 tournament in Qatar for the first time in her career. Since then, however, she has lost three finals - including Wimbledon (twice 0:6 against Iga Swiatek) and the US Open. She has now turned the tide again in Beijing. The world number 4 prevailed 6:0, 2:6, 6:2 against the Czech Linda Noskova (WTA 27).

With her success at the tournament in Beijing, which is endowed with almost 9 million dollars, Anisimova also became the fourth player to qualify for the WTA Finals after the Grand Slam winners Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff, whom she defeated in the semi-finals. The 20-year-old Noskova moves into the top 20 for the first time in her career.
