Jannik Sinner Reaches 30th ATP Final After Beijing Semi-Final Win Over Alex de Minaur

Jannik Sinner advanced to the final of the Beijing Open after a hard-fought 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 victory over Alex de Minaur, extending his perfect head-to-head record against the Australian to 11-0. This marks Sinner's 30th ATP final and ninth consecutive final on hard courts, underscoring his strong form this season, which includes two Grand Slam titles and a recent loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open. Sinner had earlier reached the semifinals by defeating Fabian Marozsan 6-1, 7-5, overcoming moments of resistance and maintaining his composure to secure the win. Despite his dominant record, Sinner acknowledged that de Minaur would pose a significant challenge given the unique court conditions and his recent improvements. Looking ahead, Sinner will face either Daniil Medvedev or Learner Tien in the final, aiming to close the gap on world No. 1 Alcaraz in the ATP Race to Turin. The Italian is focused on maintaining his high level of play to finish the season strong and contend for the Year-End No. 1 title.
