Anisimova beats Noskova to win China Open

Amanda Anisimova continued her breakout year with victory over Linda Noskova to win the China Open and claim her second WTA 1,000 title.

American Anisimova, runner-up at Wimbledon and the US Open, came through a fluctuating match 6-0 2-6 6-2 against the Czech, who she also beat on her way to the final at the All England Club.

Noskova, playing in her first WTA 1,000 showpiece, won just 12 points in a 23-minute opening set where she was on the end of a 'bagel' - losing a set without winning a game.

However, with a more aggressive approach, Noskova broke her American opponent in the first game of the second set.
