China Open 2025 Finals Results: Sinner and Anisimova Shine
BEIJING — The 2025 China Open has wrapped up after two weeks of world-class tennis, delivering a finale that blended dominance, resilience, and breakthrough moments. The combined ATP 500 and WTA 1000 event at Beijing’s National Tennis Center once again lived up to its reputation as one of the sport’s most prestigious and competitive tournaments outside the Grand Slams.
Fans were treated to an unforgettable series of finals that showcased both the established elite and the sport’s next generation. From Jannik Sinner’s clinical title defense to Amanda Anisimova’s long-awaited triumph, and from doubles specialists sealing hard-fought victories to history being made in women’s doubles, the 2025 edition provided a fitting crescendo to Beijing’s marquee tennis showcase.
Men’s Singles: Sinner Reigns Supreme Once Again
The men’s singles final served as yet another reminder of Jannik Sinner’s standing as the game’s preeminent force. The Italian world No. 1 captured his second China Open title with an emphatic 6–2, 6–2 victory over 19-year-old American Learner Tien, extending his outstanding season that already includes two Grand Slam crowns.
Sinner, the top seed in Beijing, was simply untouchable throughout the week. His combination of baseline precision, consistency, and mental clarity dismantled every opponent in his path. Even a stern semifinal test from Alex de Minaur could not derail his momentum.
In Sunday’s final, Sinner imposed his authority early, breaking Tien’s serve in the opening games of both sets and dictating rallies with effortless control. Tien, competing in his first ATP 500 final as a wildcard, showcased flashes of brilliance and fearlessness that have made him one of the most talked-about young players on tour. His semifinal victory over Daniil Medvedev was one of the tournament’s biggest upsets, marking him as a rising threat for 2026.
For Sinner, the Beijing crown reinforces his grip on the ATP No. 1 ranking and adds another trophy to a growing collection. For Tien, it marks the start of what promises to be a bright, headline-filled career.
Women’s Singles: Anisimova’s Long-Awaited Breakthrough
If Sinner’s triumph represented dominance, Amanda Anisimova’s title run embodied perseverance and renewal. The 24-year-old American captured her first WTA 1000 title with a hard-fought 6–0, 2–6, 6–2 victory over Linda Nosková, sealing an emotional comeback season with her most prestigious trophy to date.
Anisimova stormed through a star-studded draw that included multiple Grand Slam champions, dispatching Coco Gauff in a blistering 58-minute semifinal. Her fearless baseline hitting and aggressive shot-making—once hallmarks of her teenage breakthrough—returned in full force throughout the week, signaling her re-emergence among the sport’s elite.
The final was a roller-coaster of momentum shifts. Anisimova dominated the opening set, bageling Nosková 6–0 in just 24 minutes. But the 20-year-old Czech responded brilliantly, taking the second set 6–2 behind powerful returns and relentless energy. In the deciding set, Anisimova steadied herself, reclaiming control with composed aggression and pinpoint serving to close out the victory.
For Nosková, Beijing marked a career-defining breakthrough. Her thrilling semifinal upset of Jessica Pegula, where she saved three match points, announced her arrival on the world stage. The Czech’s fearless play and maturity beyond her years have drawn comparisons to compatriots Petra Kvitová and Karolína Plíšková—and her first WTA 1000 final appearance is likely just the beginning.
With her Beijing triumph, Anisimova is expected to surge back into the WTA Top 10 and move closer to qualification for the WTA Finals in Riyadh, completing one of the most impressive comeback stories of the 2025 season.
Men’s Doubles: Heliovaara and Patten Claim a Statement Win
In men’s doubles, the pairing of Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten capped a remarkable week with a gritty 4–6, 6–3, [10–8] victory over the Russian duo Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev.
After dropping the first set, the third-seeded pair found their rhythm and relied on sharp net play and precise teamwork to level the match. In the deciding super tiebreak, Heliovaara and Patten displayed ice-cold composure, winning three consecutive points at 6–6 and converting on their third championship point.
The victory not only gives them their biggest title together but also solidifies their credentials as one of the premier teams heading toward the ATP Finals.
Women’s Doubles: Errani and Paolini Etch Their Names in History
The Italian duo of Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini produced another milestone moment in Beijing, becoming the first team ever to successfully defend the China Open women’s doubles title. The second seeds rallied from a set down to defeat Miyu Kato and Fanny Stollár, 6–7 (1), 6–3, [10–2].
After narrowly losing the opening tiebreak, Errani and Paolini reset with poise, dominating the next two sets through crisp volleys and tactical serving. Their victory marks their third WTA 1000 title of the year and continues a golden stretch that has also included a French Open title and Olympic gold medal.
Their success underscores the resurgence of Italian tennis across both singles and doubles, as Paolini also reached a Grand Slam final earlier this season.
A Tournament of Transitions
The 2025 China Open leaves a lasting impression as a tournament that captured tennis in motion—bridging generations, reviving careers, and crowning new contenders. The event highlighted the enduring excellence of champions like Sinner and Errani, while signaling the exciting rise of new faces such as Tien and Nosková.
As the tour turns toward the final stretch of the season, the echoes from Beijing resonate: the sport’s landscape is evolving, but its allure—drama, brilliance, and unpredictability—remains timeless.
