BEIJING (AP) — Third-seeded Amanda Anisimova claimed the China Open with a 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 win over Linda Noskova in the final of the hard-court indoor tournament on Sunday. Anisimova, who ended fellow American Coco Gauff’s title defense in the semifinal, sealed the match with a backhand winner down the line and fell on her back as she won the trophy for the first time. Her rival gave her a tough challenge but ran out of steam in the closing stages of their encounter, which lasted one hour and 46 minutes.
