Amanda Anisimova defeated Karolína Muchová 1–6, 6–2, 6–4 in the second round of the WTA 1000 Beijing tournament on hard court, confirming her status as pre-match favourite. After losing the opening set decisively, Anisimova regrouped to take control of the match, winning the second set with a commanding performance before closing out the third. The American's ability to recover from an early deficit proved decisive, as Muchová could not maintain the intensity that earned her the first set. Anisimova's comeback victory positions her well in the Beijing draw as she continues her campaign at the Masters 1000 level.
