Jannik Sinner will dispute the China open title with student ten after their successful passage to test the semi-final on Tuesday in Beijing.
I am very happy with today. It was a different game than normal against him; It was a very even match. Jannik Sinner
Sinner, the best seed and title favorite dropped his second set of the week in his victory over Alex de Minaur to reach his 30th Tour = level final and ninth consecutive title match on a Hardcourt 6-3 4-6 6-2.
The Italian, who still has to lose to the Australian in 11 meetings, recovered well in the decision -maker after the Minaur made a match of their semi -final, but then Sinner responded by putting his way away to keep his undefeated record with the Aussie after two hours 20 minutes.
“I felt that the level was very high,” Sinner said. “Many big rallies, many big chances for both. I had my chances in the second set and couldn’t use them, but he had his chances, and it was a pretty equal match. In the third set I tried to increase my level. I broke him very early, which gave me confidence to serve better.
It will be Sinner’s third last performance in Beijing, win the title two years ago and then loses the title of 500 level to Carlos Alcaraz last year.
“He sometimes served great with a lot of pace and precision,” Sinner added. “He returned very well. I served very well today, but he neutralized very well. He moved very quickly and this court is sometimes quite slow, so he arrives at more balls. I tried to stay concentrated and not to lose mental energy. Today it was a very difficult match, so I am very happy.”
In a fascinating match, the Sinner exceeded the Minaur early, with the help of his trademark Forehand to open the court and dictate the rallies, a strategy that turned out to be extremely successful and kept the third seed over the court and out of balance.
In the second set. Although the minaur succeeded in turning the game by being more aggressive and taking his chances and not to reduce his not -related error to level the game, but every hope of finally scoring his first victory in the world no. 2, were deposited in the third in the third., When Sinner had his own game raised and his Fore Theater.

The 19-year-old American will be the second youngest finalist in the tournament history by promoting 5-7 7-5 4-0 after his 29-year-old opponent from Russia was wounded.
The moment the teenager was on a role with 1-4 and 3-5 in the second set and made use of a series of mistakes from Medvedev that started to slow down and, after leveling, four consecutive games in the decision maker dropped when the Big Russian decided to shake hands.
“I was down in the second 3-5 and 2-4 and clawed my way back,” said ten. “I didn’t think something was wrong with him and then he came out of the bathroom stop, so I wasn’t sure if he was cramped or he was injured because he had tape on his leg. I think it was cramp and I was there and it’s not fun. It’s not fun to come and it’s not how you want to get a match, but I am happy to be in the latter.”
