Player Field
Men’s Singles: Sinner Reclaims China Open
The men’s singles portion of the China Open 2025 concluded, with top seed and former champion Jannik Sinner reaffirming his dominance on the hard courts of Beijing. In a display of commanding form, Sinner defeated American teenager Learner Tien in a straight-sets final, 6-2, 6-2, to claim his second China Open title.
Sinner’s victory capped a stellar week for the world No. 1, who entered the tournament as a clear favorite. The Italian, who won the China Open in 2023, demonstrated why he is considered one of the most formidable players on the ATP Tour. His path to the final was not without its challenges, as he had to overcome a tenacious Alex de Minaur in the semifinals in a hard-fought three-set match, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.
While Sinner’s victory was a testament to his consistent excellence, the tournament was also defined by a series of surprising results and impressive performances from rising stars. One of the biggest headlines was the unexpected run of 19-year-old Learner Tien. The young American, ranked No. 52 in the world, had a breakout tournament, reaching his first-ever ATP final after a stunning upset of Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. Medvedev, seeded eighth, retired from their semifinal match with a score of 5-7, 7-5, 4-0.
Other top seeds faced mixed results. World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, who entered the tournament as the second seed, was defeated by Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals, 6-3, 6-3. Zverev’s loss was a notable upset, as he had been a strong contender for the title. The men’s draw also saw other key players exit early, with fifth seed Karen Khachanov losing in the first round. Rising star Jakub Mensik, seeded seventh, also had his run cut short, retiring from his quarterfinal match against Alex de Minaur.
The men’s final was a showcase of Sinner’s clinical efficiency. He broke Tien immediately in the first set and never looked back, outclassing the young American with a powerful and consistent performance. Sinner’s 21st career title and his third of the 2025 season (following victories at the Australian Open and Wimbledon) solidifies his position at the top of the men’s game.
Women’s Singles: Anisimova Crowned Champion
The women’s singles event at the 2025 China Open concluded, crowning a new champion in a final that was as dramatic as it was compelling. After a week of upsets and incredible performances, American star Amanda Anisimova has emerged victorious, defeating Czech Republic’s Linda Nosková with a final score of 6–0, 2–6, 6–2. The result marks a significant moment for both players and a dramatic shake-up in the final push for the year-end WTA Finals.
The women’s singles draw, which began with a staggering 76 direct acceptances and a breathtaking collection of 12 Grand Slam champions, lived up to its billing as a “who’s who” of tennis royalty. However, the 96-player field, which required a non-seeded player to win seven consecutive matches to take the title, proved to be a minefield for the top seeds. The tournament was defined not just by its champions, but by the surprising early exits of many of the sport’s biggest names.
Top seed and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, despite her strong form at the US Open, was unable to secure her first China Open title. Defending champion Coco Gauff, fighting for crucial points to solidify her place in the WTA Finals, also faced an early exit, leaving the door open for a new contender. Former world No. 1s and Grand Slam champions like Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Naomi Osaka all succumbed to the pressure of the demanding draw, highlighting the intense depth of talent on the tour.
The stage was set for an underdog story, and both Anisimova and Nosková delivered. Anisimova, known for her powerful groundstrokes, navigated the treacherous draw with remarkable consistency, taking down a series of formidable opponents to reach her first final of the season. Her opponent, the 20-year-old Linda Nosková, had an equally impressive run, displaying the aggressive baseline game that has marked her as a rising star.
The final match itself was a rollercoaster of momentum. Anisimova exploded out of the gate, playing flawless tennis to win the first set 6–0. It seemed as though she would cruise to the title, but Nosková mounted a stunning comeback, adjusting her strategy and hitting her targets to take the second set 6–2. The match was forced into a decisive third set, where Anisimova’s experience and grit shone through. She regained her composure, broke Nosková’s serve, and methodically closed out the final set 6–2 to claim the most significant title of her career.
The victory not only cements Anisimova’s return to the top echelon of the game but also has major implications for the race to the WTA Finals. While Sabalenka and Swiatek had already qualified, the points gained by Anisimova and Nosková will significantly alter the rankings for the final few spots. This China Open will be remembered as a crucial battleground, where the unseeded players proved they were a force to be reckoned with. On the domestic front, Chinese fans rallied behind Olympic Singles Gold Medallist from the Paris Games, Zheng Qinwen, along with Wang Xinyu and Wang Yafan. While they were unable to make a deep run, their competitive spirit on home soil was a testament to the growing strength of Chinese tennis.
History
The China Open has a rich history, with the first men’s singles and doubles events held in 1993 as part of a series of new ATP tournaments in Asia. The tournament was discontinued in 1998 but was reinstated in 2004, with the women’s event joining the calendar. In 2006, the China Open became the first tournament outside of the United States to use the Hawk-Eye electronic line-calling system. The event was not held from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but returned in 2023.
The tournament has seen many legendary champions over the years. On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic holds the record for most titles with six, while Michael Chang won three consecutive titles in the tournament’s early years. Other notable men’s champions include Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, and Jannik Sinner. On the women’s side, Serena Williams, Svetlana Kuznetsova, and Agnieszka Radwańska are among the multi-time champions. The most recent women’s singles winner was Coco Gauff in 2024.
