Amanda Anisimova was most recently seen in action at the China Open. The 24-year-old got her campaign in Beijing off to a strong start, disposing of Katie Boulter and Zhang Shuai in straight sets. She then battled past Karolina Muchova and Jasmine Paolini, before dominating Coco Gauff in the semifinals. In the summit clash, Anisimova outdid Linda Noskova to win her second WTA 1000 title of the year.

After the her victory, Anisimova weighed in on the highs and lows of her time at the China Open, saying,

“I think the happiest moment was today getting over the finish line. There's no feeling like it really, when you are finally able to win the championship point. That was obviously the highlight of my week. Hugging my team."

"There were obviously some really tough moments where I was thinking of pulling out a few times. I think those were, like, the hardest moments because you're trying to have a conversation with yourself and figure out what's the best decision to make. I'm just really happy that I was able to stick it through and also trust myself and my team, who informed me about my body. Yeah, just trusting and believing in them and myself," she added.

Up next, Amanda Anisimova is scheduled to return to action at the Wuhan Open. The tournament is slated o take place between October 4 and 12 and the American will run into either Varvara Gracheva or Jessica Bouzas Maneiro for her round of 32 encounter.
