US Open runner-up Amanda Anisimova dominated defending champion Coco Gauff in just 58 minutes on Saturday, securing her spot in the final of the China Open for the first time.
The third seed overwhelmed the second-seeded American Gauff 6-1, 6-2 in Beijing. Anisimova will face either fifth-seeded Jessica Pegula or 26th-seeded Linda Noskova from the Czech Republic on Sunday.
I was able to put on a really good performance, Anisimova, beaten in the final in New York by Aryna Sabalenka, said afterwards.
