BEIJING, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- Italy's Jannik Sinner clinched his second China Open title on Wednesday, defeating American teenager Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 in the men's singles final.
The top seed and world No. 2 made a flying start on Diamond Court, breaking twice and wrapping up the opening set in just 34 minutes.
Tien, 19, ranked 52nd and playing his first ATP final, raised his level early in the second set, holding firm through the first four games. But Sinner broke in the fifth and seventh games to seize control.
Serving for the championship at 5-2, the 24-year-old Italian converted his third match point to seal the straight-sets win in one hour and 12 minutes.
It was Sinner's third consecutive Beijing final. He triumphed in 2023 by beating Daniil Medvedev in the title match after ousting Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals, and finished runner-up to Alcaraz last year.
Tien had made a dream run to the final, advancing past both Lorenzo Musetti and Medvedev after the two retired mid-match, and further underlined his credentials as one of the tour's rising stars. ■
