Jannik Sinner continued his Beijing dominance on Tuesday, securing a spot in his third consecutive China Open men's final with a hard-fought 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 victory over Alex de Minaur. The 24-year-old Italian now boasts an 11-0 record against the Australian in completed matches, cementing his status as the tournament's modern-day titan.
New Challenger Emerges
Sinner will face 19-year-old American Learner Tien in Wednesday's final, after the teenager capitalized on Daniil Medvedev's retirement during their semifinal clash. Tien's breakthrough run marks a dramatic generational shift, pitting Sinner's experience against youthful ambition.
Gauff's Resilient Defense
In women's action, Coco Gauff staged a remarkable comeback to overcome Belinda Bencic 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2. The reigning champion's victory keeps her title defense alive and extends her WTA Finals qualification streak to four years. Next up: Germany's Eva Lys, who fought past McCartney Kessler in three sets.
With Sinner chasing history and Gauff maintaining momentum, the China Open continues to deliver high-stakes drama as Asia's premier tennis event reaches its climax.
