Facing Amanda Anisimova's power, Coco Gauff was overwhelmed in Beijing. Dominated from start to finish, the American No. 1 lost to her compatriot with a score of 6-1, 6-2 in 58 minutes.
A decisive defeat that she addressed in the press conference, discussing the feeling of helplessness that Anisimova can instill in her opponents:
"She played well. I felt like I had no chance to find my rhythm on the court. But I see it as a valuable experience for next time.
