Inaugural day for many of the top title favorites at the WTA Beijing 2025. The debuts were not easy for the majority, but well-known names asserted their status and showed they are in good form for the final stretch of the year. The best example is Amanda Anisimova, who dismantled Katie Boulter with ease (6-1, 6-3); similarly, Jasmine Paolini continued her strong performance after securing the Billie Jean King Cup for Italy (comfortable win over Anastasija Sevastova with 6-1, 6-3). On the other hand, Elena Rybakina had a tougher match but managed to overcome Caty McNally after a hard-fought battle (7-5, 4-6, 6-3).
