Anisimova fights off Noskova challenge to win China Open

Two-time Grand Slam finalist Amanda Anisimova won her second WTA 1000 title of the year on Sunday, brushing off a second-set stumble to beat Linda Noskova 6-0 2-6 6-2 in the China Open final, Reuters reported.

Czech Noskova, who had prevailed in a two-and-a-half hour battle against Jessica Pegula in Saturday's semi-finals , struggled to keep up with Anisimova's power and speed.


"It's been an incredible few weeks... we had a lot of challenges," said Anisimova, who had to withdraw from last month's Korea Open due to an ankle injury, according to Reuters.
