This victory highlights what has already been a remarkable season for Anisimova.

She explained that she had to play her best tennis against Coco and credited the Beijing crowd for their support, saying their energy motivated her throughout the tournament.

Anisimova will now face either American fifth seed Jessica Pegula or Czech rising star Linda Noskova in the final, depending on the outcome of the second semi-final. With her strong form and growing confidence, she will aim to lift her first China Open title and add another major milestone to an already impressive 2025 season.
