The Spaniard clearly beat the Russian Daniil Medvevev and will face the Italian, in a new confrontation between the two.
The ATP 500 in Beijing will have its dream final. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will meet in the definition of the title. The Italian beat the surprising Chinese Bu Yunchaokete 6-3 and 7-6 (3), while the Spaniard beat the Russian Daniil Medvevev 7-5 and 6-3.
The Murcian’s victory was particularly valuable, because it confirmed that the bad streak that began after the final of the Olympic Games is a thing of the past. In the Chinese capital he showed very solid tennis and has not lost any sets in the tournament so far.
On the other hand, victory will allow him to regain world number two, supplanting the German Alexander Zverev, although far from Sinner who consolidates his place at first place in the world rankings and will aim for his seventh crown of the season.
“I have a lot of confidence in the way I play and how I feel on the pitch. Physically I’m doing well and I think I can beat whoever is in front of me. Others can trust you, but the important thing is that you trust yourself. So whoever comes out on top, I really have confidence that I can beat him,” Alcaraz said after his solid victory.

Despite the barren times he is going through after the WADA appeal of his doping case, Jannik Sinner maintains an exceptional streak of 15 consecutive victories which includes the US Open title and the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati. “It was a very difficult match, I didn’t know Bu and I didn’t know what to expect at the start. “I played good tennis in the first set, then I lost a little intensity in the second,” he said after his victory.
Regarding his challenge against Alcaraz, this Wednesday at 6:00 a.m. in Chile, the transalpine player was clear. “I’m happy to be in the final again in Beijing this year. With Alcaraz it will be different, obviously we know each other very well. But now I only think about tomorrow’s match. Every match between us is different and the situations on the pitch can be different. In the meantime, I’m enjoying this final, playing the finals is always a good time. “I hope tomorrow will be a good match,” he concluded.
The history of the clashes In ATP tournaments, this indicates that the scales are slightly tilted for the Spaniard, who has won five of the nine duels.. The last meeting took place in the semifinals of Roland Garros, where the student of Juan Carlos Ferrero won 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 and 6-3.
