"The 24-year-old's only loss on Beijing's centre Diamond Court has been to great rival and top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz, who won last year's final in three gripping sets. A very, very special place for me, said the victorious Sinner, a four-time Grand Slam champion and top seed this week. Alcaraz was not defending his title in the Chinese capital and on Tuesday won the Japan Open in Tokyo."
"Sinner broke immediately in the first set on the way to outclassing the 19-year-old Tien, who was in his first ATP final. Congrats to Jannik on a great week, another title, an honour to share the court with you today, he told the world number two afterwards. The world number 52 got a rare chance to break in the second game of the second set but Sinner quickly retook control, ending a one-sided match with 10 aces over the 1h, 12min final."
Jannik Sinner defeated Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 to win the China Open and claim the 21st title of his career. The victory marked Sinner's second Beijing crown and his third title of the season after the Australian Open and Wimbledon. Sinner dominated the 19-year-old Tien, who reached his first ATP final and would have been the tournament's lowest-ranked champion. Sinner served 10 aces in a one-sided 1 hour 12 minute final. Carlos Alcaraz did not defend his Beijing title, having won the Japan Open and withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters, opening a chance for Sinner to regain world number one.
