Jannik Sinner wins the China Open. The bluebird disposed of the youngest Learner Tien in two sets: 6-2, 6-2 the partials in favor of the world number 2 who thus took home the trophy. A test of enormous solidity by the Azure. Devastating service that never betrayed him.

Jannik Sinner starts the match great and finds the break in the first game. However, the young Learner Tien shows personality, holding up several exchanges with the world number 2. The Italian, when he picks up the pace, still hurts. Here comes the second break for Jannik Sinner, who goes up 4-1. The U.S. surrendered 6-2 (11 winning strokes in the set for the’South Tyrolean).

Learner Tien starts the second set well, holding his own serve to zero. There also comes a break point for the 2005 class that Jannik Sinner clears with his serve. Set decidedly more tightly contested. At 2-2, two break points for Jannik Sinner: double foul by the American and game to the blue. The young U.S. promise is not up for it and wins, in the next game, a break point. The serve gives, again, a hand to the number 2 in the world who goes to 4-2. The second break also comes: 5-2. With serve, Jannik Sinner closes the file with another 6-2.

For Jannik Sinner this is the second success in Beijing where he had already won in 2023 (last year defeat, in the final, against Carlos Alcaraz). For the Italian this is the third tournament won this season and the 21st in his career: three successes out of seven finals played this season, participating in only eight tournaments. The best answer to Carlos Alcaraz’s success.
