Coco Gauff posts alarming serve stats as she is hammered by Amanda Anisimova at China Open
Coco Gauff was steamrolled by Amanda Anisimova in just 58 minutes.
The post Coco Gauff posts alarming serve stats as she is hammered by Amanda Anisimova at China Open appeared first on Tennis365.
Coco Gauff’s title defence at the 2025 China Open came to an abrupt conclusion as she suffered a one-sided defeat to compatriot Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals.
Anisimova hammered Gauff 6-1, 6-2 in just 58 minutes at the WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing in a battle between the top two American women’s stars. It was the pair’s first encounter in over three years since they played at Wimbledon in 2022.
Remarkably, world No 4 Anisimova stormed into a 5-0 lead in both sets, and she had two set points on world No 3 Gauff’s serve to win the first set 6-0, while she came within two points of winning the second set 6-0 on her own serve.
Unsurprisingly, given the scoreline, the numbers make for tough reading from a Gauff perspective as she won only 30 of the 89 points played (34%).
The most stark statistics, though, are related to Gauff’s serve, which continues to be a major talking point. With the help of biomechanical expert Gavin MacMillan, who Gauff hired to replace her former coach Matt Daly, she changed her service motion in the week before the US Open.
Against Anisimova, Gauff landed a healthy 64% of her first serves, but won just 11 of the 28 points behind her first serve, which equates to a brutal 39%.
The two-time major winner’s second serve has often been her biggest issue, and in this match, she won only 38% (six of 16) of her second serve points as she committed five double faults.
Gauff’s serving struggles led to her being broken five times in her seven service games against Anisimova, who is renowned for her aggressive returning.

Speaking to reporters post-match, Gauff said: “Yeah, overall a positive tournament. I had a great time here on and off the court.
Yeah, disappointing. I felt pretty good going out there today. I don’t know, I was practising great. I just went on court and she completely took over.
“So yeah, I think there’s a lot of learning experiences. I know what I need to do against players like her in the future. Now it’s all about going back to practice and trying to implement those things.”
For Anisimova, the impressive win continues an excellent 2025 season in which she won her maiden WTA 1000 title in Doha and reached back-to-back major finals at Wimbledon and the US Open.
In her press conference, Anisimova said: “I feel like I felt really good throughout the whole match. Like all my shots were working today, which is like my favourite way to play (smiling).

“BREAKING NEWS: NFL icon Patrick Mahomes just delivered a powerful message that left some of the world’s richest and most influential people stunned — and then he backed up his words with action. READ MORE: At a lavish black-tie gala in Manhattan, surrounded by billionaires, crystal chandeliers, and egos large enough to fill a stadium, Mahomes took the stage to accept a Global Impact Award — but instead of giving the polite, scripted speech everyone expected, the Chiefs quarterback spoke from the heart. He didn’t praise sponsors. He didn’t talk about fame. He didn’t thank “the usual names.” Instead, he looked out at a room filled with the world’s wealthiest — including Mark Zuckerberg and several Wall Street titans — and said: “If you’re blessed, you have a duty to bless others. No one should build an empire while kids don’t have a place to sleep. If you hold more than you need, then someone out there is going without.” The entire room froze. Eyewitnesses say Zuckerberg and the tech billionaires sat stiff, not clapping, not smiling — just stunned silence as Patrick’s words rang through the hall. Of course they didn’t clap. The truth rarely comforts those who benefit from the way things are. Because Mahomes wasn’t talking about envy — he was talking about responsibility, character, and humanity. And he didn’t stop at words. That same night, Patrick Mahomes announced a $10 million donation through his “15 and the Mahomies Foundation” to build youth centers, sports facilities, medical clinics, and safe housing in struggling communities across Kansas City, Tyler (Texas), and underserved neighborhoods throughout the Midwest and South. He didn’t brag. He didn’t pose. He simply acted — proving that leadership isn’t something you say… it’s something you do. Mahomes’ message was clear, timeless, and deeply human: “Greatness isn’t measured by what you earn — it’s measured by what you give.” While billionaires chase luxury, status, and applause, Patrick Mahomes reminded the world that true greatness comes from lifting others, not just yourself. In a world obsessed with wealth and power, Patrick did what he always does — stepped up when it mattered most. Patrick Mahomes didn’t just speak tonight. He made the world stop and listen.”
“🔥Just 15 minutes ago: NFL icon Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence with a fiery message defending his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes: “What he’s dealing with is a disgrace to the game — a complete betrayal of what football is supposed to represent. How can people be so harsh on a guy who gives everything he has, every single snap? Mahomes is carrying this team with heart, toughness and leadership. To me, he’s one of the greatest players to ever wear a Chiefs uniform.” 👉Read the full story now:
