Defending champion Coco Gauff was thrashed 6-1 6-2 by third seed Amanda Anisimova in their China Open semi-final.

Anisimova, who also reached the final of the US Open this year, has climbed to world number four and showed her class in dismantling Gauff.
She lost just five points on her first serve in Beijing and won the first five games of the match in a dominant display.
