🎾 Big vibes in Beijing! Jannik Sinner has stormed into a third straight China Open final, outlasting Alex de Minaur 6-3, 4-6, 6-1. That win pushes his head-to-head to 11-0 against the Aussie—talk about dominance! 😎
At 24, Sinner is no stranger to Beijing’s spotlight. He was champion in 2023 (after epic semis vs Carlos Alcaraz and final vs Daniil Medvedev) and runner-up last year to—yes—you guessed it—Alcaraz. This season, he’s back and hungrier than ever.
Waiting for him Wednesday is 19-year-old Learner Tien, making his first ATP final. Tien stunned Daniil Medvedev when the Russian retired down 5-7, 7-5, 4-0. Fresh teen energy vs veteran cool—this clash promises fireworks! 🔥
On the women’s side, Coco Gauff rallied past Belinda Bencic 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 to reach the quarters. The 21-year-old American extended her head-to-head edge to 4-2 and now aims to defend her title. Next up: Germany’s Eva Lys, who came back from a set down to beat McCartney Kessler 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
With Sinner aiming for another trophy and Gauff chasing glory, Beijing’s courts are buzzing. Who’s got your pick—veteran pro or the new star? Stay tuned for more thrills! 💫
