Sinner and โMedvedev Advance to Beijing Final, Setting Up โขChampionship Clash
Beijing, China – Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner will contest the โฃfinal of the ATPโฃ Beijing tournament after securing victories โขin their โคrespective semifinals on Saturday. Medvedev overcame Learner Tien, while Sinner continued his dominanceโ over Alex de minaur.
Medvedev,seeking his first title โof a challenging season,dispatched Tien 6-3,6-3. The win marked โMedvedev’s โข14th victory in 21 matches against Zverev and propelled him โto his โขfourth โขsemifinal of the year.Tien had previously defeated Medvedev in their only prior meeting. The former world #1โ appears to be regaining form, โขpossibly โfueled by his new coaching partnership with Thomas Johannson and rohan Goetzke, and demonstrated improved physical โand โคmental preparedness.
Sinner remained in โcontention for the year-end world #1 ranking, though his chances are diminishing โfollowing Carlos Alcaraz’s โprogression to the Tokyo final. He defeated Alex de Minaur โขin straight sets, โคcontinuing a lopsided head-to-head record. Sinner’s 6-1, 7-5 quarterfinal win over Fabian Marozsanโฃ was his 40th tour-level victory of the season, despite missingโฃ three monthsโ of competition earlier in the year.
De Minaur had enjoyed a strong runโฃ to the semifinal, including a dominantโข opening-round victory over Bu Yunchaokete and a hard-foughtโฃ win againstโ Arthur Rinderknech. Though, his quarterfinal opponent, โJakub Mensik, retired after onlyโ five โขgames.
Sinner’s โขrecord against โฃde Minaur โnow stands at โ10-0, having only dropped one set to the Australianโ in their previous encounters – back in 2020.The Italian’s powerful game has consistently overwhelmed de Minaur, andโค theโค semifinal followed that pattern.
